The Chicago Bears are ready to make some noise during the 2025 NFL season. Chicago has already made a few splashes this offseason, starting by hiring Ben Johnson as their next head coach. The Bears also rebuilt their offensive line a pair of trades and some smart free agency signings. Now the table is set for the Bears take the NFC North by storm in 2025.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport made a bold claim about Caleb Williams on Wednesday. Rapoport claimed that Williams needs to be ‘miserable’ if he wants to be a great NFL quarterback.
“Caleb Williams said all the right things, I think he has and will continue to do so,” Rapoport said on Wednesday via Good Morning Football. “He wants Ben Johnson to challenge him, he wants his offensive coaching staff to challenge him. It’s going to be really hard. I know he’s ready, I know he thinks he’s ready, but I don’t know if he truly understands what it’s going to be like.”
Rapoport admitted that Williams was good in 2024. He had a few bad habits, and made some rookie mistakes, but was a solid starting quarterback.
Williams threw for 3,541 yards with 20 touchdowns and six interceptions as a rookie. He had a solid supporting cast around him, though Chicago has a dysfunctional coaching staff.
