The Chicago Bears made significant adjustments to their offensive line this offseason, aiming to provide quarterback Caleb Williams with the protection he desperately needed after a tumultuous rookie year. Williams set a franchise record with a staggering 68 sacks, yet he managed to impress with 3,541 passing yards and 20 touchdowns. New general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson prioritized the acquisition of guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, along with center Drew Dalman, to solidify the interior line.

Jackson, who joined the Bears via trade from the Los Angeles Rams, expressed admiration for Williams' resilience, stating, "He took 68 sacks and was still fighting." With enhanced protection, Jackson believes Williams can excel and lead the Bears to new heights. The combination of a revamped offensive line and Johnson’s coaching could unlock Williams' potential, setting the stage for a breakout performance in his second season.
