Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears' prized rookie quarterback and former USC star, faced a challenging first season after being drafted first overall in 2024. He started all 17 games, amassing 3,541 passing yards and 20 touchdowns, while battling through an NFL-high 68 sacks. Despite the difficulties, analysts like Dan Graziano believe that with the support of new head coach Ben Johnson and a bolstered offensive line, Williams is poised to contend for the league MVP award in the upcoming season.

The Bears have surrounded Williams with talent, including wide receivers D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze, tight end Cole Kmet, and running back D’Andre Swift. Additionally, they have added rookie tight end Colston Loveland and wide receiver Luther Burden III through the draft. If the offensive line, now featuring Boston College tackle Ozzy Trapilo, can protect him better, the Bears' offense could become one of the most exciting in the league.
