Bears HC Reveals Area Caleb Williams Has Improved Most

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is starting to become the player many believed he would be.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams showed significant improvement in his completion percentage during the previous season under new head coach Ben Johnson, according to Johnson. Williams, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, had 3,942 passing yards, 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2023. However, his 58.1% completion rate was a concern.

Johnson noted that Williams has been focusing on improving in the red zone and taking pride in his ball placement during practice. The coach emphasized the importance of finding the delicate balance in tight windows while maintaining an aggressive approach. Williams' progress in this area could be crucial for the Bears to become true contenders in the 2026 season.
