Caleb Williams Poised for Year Two Growth Under Ben Johnson

Franchise quarterback Caleb Williams is entering his second year under coordinator Ben Johnson as the centerpiece of the Bears' offense. Johnson noted that the entire quarterback room, including backups Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum, is in a better position due to increased system stability. As expectations rise for the Bears to become a legitimate playoff threat, Williams is expected to take a significant step forward in his development during the 2026 season.
