The news of Caleb Williams' initial reluctance to become a Bear only makes the Ben Johnson hiring that much more important.

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams has a chance to rewrite the team's passing record book, especially if coach Ben Johnson's prediction is correct.

Johnson’s comments came just hours after news broke that Williams’ dad, Carl, didn’t want him to get drafted to the Bears, saying “Chicago is the place quarterbacks go to die,” as revealed in Seth Wickersham’s new book “American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback,” which is set to be published in September.
