Overview

• Williams stayed beyond the mandatory OTAs to absorb the new offense with extra full-speed reps alongside other young players and special teamers.
• Johnson has “loaded him up” with long play calls, multiple pre-snap adjustments and accelerated tempo to test his grasp of the playbook.
• In recent red-zone sessions Williams threw two interceptions but coaches note steady progress in his accuracy on front and back pylon throws.
• Johnson praises Williams’s pocket mobility and improvisational skills when protections break down, highlighting his ability to create plays off-script.
• The Bears anticipate that a receiving corps led by D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III will help Williams improve timing and reduce his time to throw.
