Caleb Williams says it is “a hell of a lot more fun” in 12 months 2 in Ben Johnson’s offense

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams says offseason practices have been extra enjoyable this 12 months.

Williams says {that a} 12 months in the past, he felt like he had been thrown into the deep finish of head coach Ben Johnson’s offense. Williams relayed a dialog he had with Bears working backs coach Eric Studesville, by which Williams likened making an attempt to be taught every part all of sudden final 12 months to drowning, however mentioned this 12 months he seems like he can calmly swim by means of the offseason.

“It’s a hell of a lot more fun for me than it was last year,” Williams mentioned. “I was saying it to Coach Studes, ‘Dude, I feel like I was drowning, trying to breathe or stay alive and wait for a boat to come around last year.’ Now this year, it’s being able to start what we finished last year, play calls and words and verbiage and speak the same language, and now it’s being able to grow more from an earlier stage than maybe doing it a little bit earlier in the season or halfway through the season, speaking on things that really helps throughout the year, and later in the year. That’s the advantage.”

Williams’ feedback echo these of Johnson, who mentioned earlier this offseason that his quarterbacks look extra snug in his offense than they seemed a 12 months in the past. Williams mentioned he believes he’s gaining confidence and getting higher at placing the ball precisely the place his receivers need it. Williams mentioned one in all his targets is for the Bears to be the highest-scoring offense within the NFL. That can be enjoyable for Bears followers.
