Caleb Williams: Ready for Bears' Tougher Season

0:00On April 20th, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is fired up for year two under coach Ben Johnson. Last season, they snagged the NFC North title for the first time since 2018, but now it's back to the grind with off-season workouts kicking. Off. Williams says he's been counting the days since that playoff lost to the Rams, ready to link up with the squad and new faces. Roster's shake-ups hid hard though. Center drew Dawman shocked everyone with a sudden retirement, and they traded wide receiver DJ Moore to E salary cap pressure. Moore was clutch, hauling and key touchdown catches against the Packers and in the playoffs, but a mix-up on a route led to that costly interception against the Rams. Williams gets the business side of football. He calls Moore a total pro. You'll miss on the field, but you roll with the punches when decisions come down from above. Still, he's not sweating it, figuring his growing comfort in Johnson's offense will smooth things out, especially after last year's center switch.

1:02Struggles. To fill the gap, the Bears grab center Garrett Bradbury from New England, making it Williams' third different snapper in three years. Team A tied-in Colcomette noticed the big leap last year, from huddle calls to pre-snap reads, stuff fans might overlook, but pros live by. Williams met with Johnson postseason, and the coach laid it out straight. It's going to get tougher, more pushing ahead. That mutual drive has them locked in. Williams pushing himself in the team right back. With coaching that clicks and a quarterback stepping up, the Bears are geared to chase bigger wins this time around.
