His public assessment sets the stage for ChicagoWashington on Monday night as a fresh chapter between the 2024 draft’s top two picks.

Overview

  • The Bears head coach said Williams and Daniels are "two ascending quarterbacks" and predicted people will be talking about them for a long time.
  • Johnson said he "felt highly" of Williams and that belief was part of why he took the Chicago job.
  • He highlighted Daniels as an "extremely accurate" passer whose rushing threat can overshadow his precision.
