The Chicago Bears were once a franchise where quarterbacks went to die. Now it is a franchise that has a franchise quarterback who will offer an attractive landing spot for future stars. Caleb Williams gave his best pitch to Maxx Crosby when describing his head coach, which could be the same pitch used for other stars.

In a recent Bears Wire article, Alyssa Barbieri takes a look at how attractive a spot the Bears are now with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams at the helm. Here are her thoughts and Caleb Williams’ thoughts on the topic:

“Johnson has earned a reputation of being a mad scientist of sorts as an offensive play caller and how he’s never truly satisfied, which is evident when he’s all business on the sideline. Johnson’s fire and passion has endeared him to his team, which is something Williams opened up about during a recent appearance on “The Rush with Maxx Crosby,” and Williams explained exactly what Johnson is like as a head coach.”

Here is what Caleb Williams had to say about Caleb Williams as his coach:

“I told Maxx this,” Williams said. “I was like, ‘He’s like us.’ He wants to whoop everybody’s ass. He’s like a player in a sense because it’s like he’s out there. Obviously, he knows he’s not out there. He always tells me players make coaches, and players are everything. More than scheme, more than anything. He does a good job of adapting to his players, but he’s like a player. He wants to whoop everybody’s ass, every coach, every defense. And for me, I love it because I feel the same way. I’m on the same wavelength. I’m on the same vibe.”

Caleb Williams displays that he loves the coach he goes to battle with, and he trusts that he is a guy that he will win a lot with. That holds so much power, and that will propel this duo to do special things together. Having this duo is also going to be attractive for other top players who become available.

Everyone, for the first time in a while, will now want to take part in that success with Ben and Caleb. The Bears will not have a problem attracting top players in free agency, and they could even become a team where players take a discount to join.
