Ryan Poles credits Ben Johnson for Caleb Williams development

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles provided an update on quarterback Caleb Williams as the team enters his third season. Following an NFC Divisional playoff appearance last year, the franchise aims to continue the progress established under head coach Ben Johnson. Poles noted that the coaching system has helped the quarterback regain a sense of freedom and joy on the field. The general manager emphasized that the relationship between Williams and Johnson remains central to the team's long-term strategy. The quarterback previously set a franchise record for passing yards in a single season while operating the top-10 offense. The organization currently looks to build upon that initial success as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
