LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — After trading 2023 second-round draft pick Gervon Dexter and going through a training camp with injuries to key players, Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles still views his team as capable of defending the NFC North ***** le.
The major reason is quarterback Caleb Williams' development in his second season under coach Ben Johnson and third year overall.
"I think the first year, he was white-knuckling the whole time, trying to figure it out, trying to do it right," Poles said Tuesday. "He continues to do that, wanting to do it right, but I think you see that joy back in his game where he's playing free."
Johnson backed that thought about Williams, who threw only five passes in preseason.
"I've seen a very composed person every time he steps into the building," Johnson said. "This guy, you know, might have had a little bit of goofy to him a year ago. And I use that term with love.
