Bears QB Caleb Williams Shines in Training Camp Comeback
31 Jul
Summary
- Caleb Williams has stepped up after a rough start to training camp
- Rookie receivers Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland are emerging as targets
- Williams used his legs to score a touchdown in a red zone drill
As the Chicago Bears continue their 2025 training camp, all eyes have been on second-year quarterback Caleb Williams as he looks to build on a rocky rookie season. After a rough start to camp, Williams has recently stepped up his performance, and that trend continued in Wednesday's practice.
The starting offense got off to a strong start during 11-on-11 drills, with Williams completing passes to wide receivers DJ Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus, and rookie Luther Burden III. His best throw of the day came on a "threaded the needle" completion to Burden in the red zone. While the final 11-on-11 red zone period was not as smooth, Williams still managed to cap it off with a touchdown run on a read option play.
The Bears' offseason focus on Williams' development appears to be paying dividends, as the young quarterback is starting to find a rhythm with his new offensive weapons. Rookie receivers Burden and Colston Loveland, the team's first two draft picks, have both been showcasing their ability to be impact players in this offense and reliable targets for Williams.
With the regular season just over a month away, the Bears are encouraged by Williams' recent progress and the potential of their revamped offense. As the team continues to fine-tune their system, the hope is that Williams can build on these promising training camp performances and lead the Bears to a bounce-back year in 2025.
