Caleb Williams Faces Coachability Concerns Entering Second NFL Season
22 Jul
Summary
- Caleb Williams disappointed in his rookie season with the Chicago Bears
- Concerns about Williams' coachability are emerging as the Bears start a new chapter
- Williams' maturity in handling adversity will be a focal point in his development

In 2024, Caleb Williams entered the NFL with immense hype, but his rookie season with the Chicago Bears was disappointing. While his talent was never questioned, concerns about his coachability are now emerging as the Bears start a new chapter under coach Ben Johnson.
NFL analyst Colin Cowherd recently commented on Williams' struggles, noting that the young quarterback sometimes plays "hero ball" and that his issues are "improvable" and "coachable." The Bears' previous coaching staff was also reportedly not pleased with Williams' off-the-field antics, such as publicly stating that he watched film by himself.
Despite the instability and inconsistent support around him last season, Williams still managed to throw for over 3,500 yards and 20 touchdowns, while rushing for nearly 500 more yards. However, the 23-year-old was sacked a league-high 68 times, leading to visible frustration on the field.

According to ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler, the team has already been working with Williams on his body language and how he handles himself in the huddle and on the sidelines when things don't go right.
