Ben Johnson is enjoying specific Caleb Williams trait he never had with Jared Goff

Before Ben Johnson joined the Chicago Bears organization as the franchise’s next head coach, he had a completely different style of quarterback.

While Johnson was the playcaller for the Detroit Lions, Jared Goff was the man under center. For three seasons, Goff threw for over 13,000 yards and 96 passing touchdowns. The veteran quarterback excelled in Johnson’s offense.

Goff did this without being mobile. He would fit under the traditional pocket-passer quarterback, a style that is not nearly as common today. Caleb Williams, Johnson’s current QB, is capable of extending plays with his elite mobility.

Williams' legs gives Johnson a new element to the offense he's never had

In the Bears’ 24-20 victory over the New York Giants at Soldier Field, Williams somehow avoided registering a sack on the box score despite pass rushers having plenty of opportunities to bring down the second-year quarterback.
