PALM BEACH, Fla. — Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will be uncomfortable when he reports to Halas Hall for offseason workouts next week.
That’s Ben Johnson’s plan, at least.
“There’s a degree of Caleb being challenged a little bit more, I think,” the Bears’ new coach told the Sun-Times on Monday at the NFL’s annual meeting. “Outside of his comfort zone.”
That includes which concepts Johnson installs — down to where the quarterback lines up. Williams has been a shotgun quarterback practically his whole career, from Gonzaga College Prep to Oklahoma to USC and then to last year’s Bears team.
