Ben Johnson: QB Caleb Williams' practice surge 'good to see'

Caleb Williams led the Bears’ offense 94 yards in less than a minute during a late-game simulation toward the end of Wednesday’s mandatory minicamp practice at Halas Hall.

“What we thought about [Caleb] was, when the lights are bright, that he was going to show up,” coach Ben Johnson said. ”It felt like the game slowed down a little bit for him and he was able to just go out and find an open guy and get a completion. So that was good to see.”

Bears fans who have lived through supposed breakthroughs of Justin Fields and Mitch Trubisky on backfields in June don’t need to be told to temper their expectations.
