It's April 1st. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and ready for kickoff. Chicago Bears quarterback Kayla Williams made strides in his second NFL season back in 2025, throwing for more yards and touchdowns than his rookie year. But his completion rate dropped over 4% and he threw one extra interception. Head coach Ben Johnson highlighted areas for growth, like sharpening accuracy when throwing on the move. He also stressed better decision making, knowing when to stay in the pocket versus extending plays to bail out the offense. Williams echoed those points himself last season, admitting he needed work on pocket presence and run throws. He noted doing well with quarterback runs for positive yards and tough spots, though not always perfect. The silver lining is, Williams has proven he can sling it effectively on the move and that raw talent shines through. More reps in the league should help everything click as the game slows down for him. With experience building, expect those tweaks to turn Williams into the franchise guy the Bears drafted him to be,

elevating the whole squad next time. Around.
