Caleb Williams’ got the Bears’ attention — and everyone else’s — as a college star largely because he was indomitable in the pocket. It seemed as though no play was ever over as he wheeled around the backfield searching for open receivers.
He put up monster numbers playing that way, and it’s a strength that the Bears shouldn’t coach out of him, but coach Ben Johnson must help him refine it and tailor it to the NFL.
It worked for Williams at USC partly because of the talent advantage he and his team had over most opponents, and that gap is far narrowed in the pros.
