Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams threw 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions in his second season in the NFL.
The Chicago Bears shocked alot of the world last season. In his first year under head coach Ben Johson, quarterback Caleb Williams’ potential began to show. Williams play under Johnson helped flip the Bears from the only team in the NFC North to not make the playoffs in 2024, into the division winner in 2025. Among their 11-6 record, they had a league leading six-fourth quarter comebacks. Williams not only broke the franchises all-time passing record, 3,942 yards, but also displayed some of the most jaw-dropping plays on the field that helped Chicago advance to the Divisional round of the playoffs.
And despite all this success, NFL Network reporter Stacey Dales believes that world barely saw what he and this team are truly capable. Dales joined 104.3 The Score to talk about Chicago’s upcoming season. During her appearance, she alluded to the fact that the league might not be prepared to handle the Bears’ offense next year.
“I’m telling you, Caleb Williams and this offense, this league is forecasting something is coming,” Dales stated. “Year two with Ben, you’re gonna see Caleb do things that we didn’t even come close to scratching the surface… Caleb Williams is gonna light this thing up.”
She also reportedly noted that the remaining NFC North teams all targeted defensive players heavily in the draft and that the league believes it’s because they fear Caleb Williams and the Bears.
14 of the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, and Minnesota Vikings 22 total draft selections were on the defensive side of the football.
If this report is indeed accurate, then it is everything the Bears’ organization could have hopped for when the selected Williams with the first overall pick in 2024.
Williams’ talent is immense and brining in Johnson to help refine him appears to have been the perfect catalyst to transform him into one of the most dangerous signal callers across the entire leage.
