Why NFL Defensive Coaches Are Talking About Caleb Williams Like The Boogeyman

Following the 2024 season, opinions on Caleb Williams from coaches around the league were what you’d expect. He’s still raw, too indecisive, holds the ball too, but wickedly talented. Maybe he’ll be good one day, but that could take a while. It’s crazy to think how much a narrative can change in a year. Williams finished the 2025 season with probably the best campaign a Bears quarterback has had in the Super Bowl era. He compiled over 4,000 total yards, including a team record 3,941 passing and 30 total touchdowns.
