Chicago Bears legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher is all in on Caleb Williams.
It’s easy to see why, after Williams made major strides in his second season, and first in new head coach Ben Johnson’s system.
Williams spearheaded Chicago’s “Cardiac Bears” persona, leading a franchise record six comeback victories this season before orchestrating the largest postseason comeback win in franchise history, over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Wild Card round.

After reaching the postseason and notching his first career playoff victory, Williams has Urlacher fired up about his trajectory as a quarterback and the Bears’ future in the years to come.
“He’s a badass,” Urlacher said, in an interview with The Chicago Sun-Times. “When things go bad, he’s at his best. When [stuff] breaks down, that dude shows up. He can make every throw, just like he said.
“I was just so impressed. Unbelievable, and I’m so excited for the future. He could be there the next 20 years. He should be.”
Williams was stellar, as he became more comfortable in Johnson’s system, completing 58.1 percent of his passes for 3,942 yards with 27 touchdowns to just seven interceptions while guiding a run to the NFC North crown.
If Williams continues on this track, the potential is almost limitless for what Johnson and the Bears will be able to build in the years ahead.
