""I loved the two-minute drills and his ability to put the team in a position to win games multiple times this season. That's a championship-caliber trait." Following a rookie season that was marred by the firing of a head coach and offensive coordinator, Poles pointed to Williams' knack for putting the team on his back late in games, an unteachable intangible that defines winning quarterbacks."
"The first season of the Ben Johnson-Caleb Williams collaboration is in the books, and it, in many ways, exceeded everyone's expectations. Williams broke Chicago's franchise record for passing yards, authored a number of comeback wins that bested Peyton Manning when it comes to quarterbacks under the age of 25, narrowly missed becoming Chicago's first 4,000-yard passer, won 11 games, beat the Packers twice, and won a playoff game."
Caleb Williams delivered a breakout 2025 campaign that featured seven fourth-quarter comeback victories, a playoff win over Green Bay, and a near-comeback in the Divisional Round against the Rams. Williams set Chicago's franchise passing-yard record, nearly reached 4,000 yards, won 11 regular-season games, and beat the Packers twice. The Ben Johnson-Caleb Williams collaboration produced an offense built around Williams, with Johnson testing and challenging him in the offseason. General Manager Ryan Poles cited Williams' two-minute proficiency and late-game leadership as championship-caliber, highlighting an unteachable clutch trait that defined many of the team's wins.
