As Bears quarterback Caleb Williams endured a choppy rookie season, he seemed mystified at times about issues with his throwing accuracy. He vaulted to the top of the draft in large part because of pinpoint precision, then completed fewer than half his passes in his debut and finished at 62.5% for the season — 33rd in the NFL.

That’s a problem new coach Ben Johnson can’t accept.

When Johnson opened training camp last month, he set a goal of Williams completing 70% of his passes this season, and that target extended to the practice field, too.
