Overview
- Ben Johnson holds both head coach and offensive coordinator roles to establish year-to-year system continuity for Caleb Williams.
- The offense will emphasize play-action passing to cut down on sacks and create easier windows after Williams endured an NFL-high 68 sacks in 2024.
- Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen has reshaped the front seven with additions like Dayo Odeyingbo, Grady Jarrett and Shemar Turner to address a run defense that ranked 28th last season.
- First-round tight end Colston Loveland remains on the mend from a Type V AC joint dislocation, leaving his availability for the start of camp uncertain.
- Analysts project wide receiver Rome Odunze to break out under Johnson’s revamped scheme, predicting a notable increase in his target share.
