Head coach Ben Johnson was detailing what he liked the best about the Bears’ nascent ground game Tuesday and eventually veered away from running backs.
“The exciting thing for me is we got some quarterbacks that are pretty athletic players as well … ” Johnson said. “Maybe they can do some damage on the ground also.”
Caleb Williams could — that is, if Johnson really has the stomach for it.
He has the ability — only six quarterbacks ran for more yards than Williams’ 489 last season. Among passers with 50 or more carries across the league, only three averaged more than his 6 yards per rush.
