Caleb Williams says he throws the ball away more than any other QB to keep the Bears in advantageous down-and-distance situations, knowing Ben Johnson will go for it on fourth down.
Caleb Williams researched Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Patrick Mahomes and found their average completion percentages range from 62–65%, just 2–3% above his own current mark.
During the season, Bears QB Caleb Williams meets one-on-one with head coach Ben Johnson every single day for sessions lasting between 90 minutes and 2 hours 30 minutes.
Caleb Williams says last year they 'could barely spit out a call' in OTAs; now the offense runs fluidly and he's stepped into a new leadership role.
Caleb Williams credits swimming — not baseball — as the secret behind his unorthodox throws, citing the shoulder flexibility and rotational strength it develops.
Caleb Williams revealed the Bears now have three elite tight ends after adding a new rookie, giving them a major personnel advantage on offense.
Caleb Williams said his trust in Ben Johnson fully crystallized after the Bears' 0-2 start in 2025 based on how Johnson responded to adversity, while the offense itself clicked mid-season.
Caleb Williams was officially revealed as the cover athlete for Madden NFL 27, and he teased his goal of becoming the first back-to-back cover athlete.
Caleb Williams listens to John Legend's 'Ordinary People' right before every game as part of a routine he has maintained for six to seven years.
Caleb Williams led the largest comeback in Red River Rivalry history as a freshman, famously declaring 'The legend of Caleb begins' to a friend before taking the field.
Before the biggest comeback in Red River Rivalry history, Caleb Williams stood on the bench, looked at his friend, and said 'The legend of Caleb begins.' He then stepped on the field, refused to get tackled on a 4th-down run, and delivered exactly what he promised.
The Eagles-AJ Brown divorce was inevitable. The offense didn't fail because of AJ Brown — it failed around him, and three years of stagnation made a fresh start the only logical outcome. Now, New England gets one of the NFL's best receivers and a real shot with Drake May.
Trading Myles Garrett to the Rams is a bold win-now bet — and Jason Kelce thinks it works for both sides. LA gets the best defensive player in the league to pair with MVP Matthew Stafford; Cleveland nets Jared Verse plus three future draft picks and a franchise reset.
Jared Verse put Jordan Mailata — 6'9", 365 lbs — flat on his back. If he adds one finesse move to complement his bull rush, Jason Kelce says double-digit sacks every year is the floor. He's already one of the most dangerous young edge rushers in the NFL.
Eric Bienemy's return to Kansas City isn't just a coaching move — it's a culture correction. Travis says accountability hit differently under EB, and with Mahomes calling his first meeting 'ready to run through a brick wall,' the Chiefs are dialing back to a gear that made them a dynasty.
Nick Herbig isn't even a starter, but he just became the highest-paid non-starter in NFL history. Jason Kelce — who trained with him in college and knows his brother — says Herbig is a legitimate disruptor who flashes every time he's on the field.
Rolling left, legs pointing toward the sideline, Caleb spotted Cole Kmet at 6'5" and 260 lbs matched up against a smaller corner and put the ball in the back of the end zone. The play worked because Caleb trusted his legs to generate power even while his body was completely sideways.
Everyone assumed Caleb Williams threw like that because of baseball or gymnastics. Wrong. It's swimming. The backstroke, freestyle, IM, and relay events built the shoulder flexibility and rotational power that produce his impossible release angles. Nobody else in the NFL has that combination.
Caleb Williams is the Madden NFL 27 cover athlete, and he's already gunning for back-to-back covers — a feat no player has ever accomplished. Inspired by Mike Vick's iconic Madden image, Caleb reimagined the Air Jordan photo for his cover shoot and says the trophy is going straight on the shelf.
Jason Kelce accepted low run-blocking grades. He accepted the overall. But a 60 toughness rating? Absolutely not. His reaction — 'Fuck off, EA' — is perfectly on-brand for a center who played through everything for 13 seasons.
Caleb Williams got two welcome-to-the-NFL moments: Danielle Hunter smoked him on the third play of the Houston game, and then Landman put a helmet straight into his chest against the Rams, shifting his chin strap over his nose and cutting off his oxygen. Both times: smoked.
Jason and Travis crack open the limited New Heights x OluKai sandal collab — football stitching, contoured arch support, premium leather, and their signatures in gold on the inside. For Jason, the guy who wore sandals to the Walter Payton Man of the Year ceremony in a full suit, this is peak personal branding.
Cole Kmet is just the start. The Bears now have three elite tight ends after a new rookie addition — all of them tall, smooth pass catchers who can also run and pass block. In Ben Johnson's motion-heavy system, Caleb says this personnel group is the ultimate matchup nightmare.
Last year, the Bears could barely spit out a play call in OTAs. Now Caleb meets with Ben Johnson daily and they're tweaking base plays to manufacture explosives. Year two isn't just an upgrade — it's a completely different existence for this offense.
Ben Johnson didn't just happen to take his shirt off after a big Bears win. Caleb reveals that Johnson was quietly sneaking into the weight room before practice — doing squats and lifts — and had apparently been building toward this moment all season. The locker room lost its mind.
