Overview

  • Bears head coach Ben Johnson called the 2024 group one of the stronger recent classes and said Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels are ascending quarterbacks.
  • Former MVP Joe Theismann praised Williams for improved discipline and quicker decision-making in his second season under Johnson’s staff.
  • Early-season snapshots highlight varied progress, with Patriots quarterback Drake Maye listed at a 107.8 passer rating to pace the class in the latest table.
  • Teams have emphasized fit by pairing young passers with veteran minds, including Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels in New England, Johnson in Chicago, Sean Payton in Denver, and Kliff Kingsbury in Washington.
  • Chicago and Washington meet in primetime this week for the second straight season, renewing the Williams–Daniels head-to-head after last year’s dramatic finish.
