How the Bears can help Caleb Williams put his best — and left — foot forward

Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times

The Bears want Caleb Williams to put his best foot — and his left foot — forward.

Williams took shotgun snaps with his left foot pushed forward Wednesday, the first glimpse of the quarterback during OTA practices under new head coach Ben Johnson. Last year, he waited for shotgun snaps with his right foot forward.

Johnson identified the switch early in his scouting of his new quarterback. When he told Williams he wanted to change his footwork, the quarterback said he already had considered making the move.
