Caleb Williams

Caleb Williams completed 4-of-7 passes for 95 yards in the Bears’ preseason Week 1 game against the Bills, adding 13 yards on his lone carry.

Williams was composed in the pocket and showcased his ability to extend plays, leading two drives with the starters, each of which ended in field goals. The highlight of his day came when he escaped the pocket to the right and threw a dart on the run to tight end Cole Kmet, reminiscent of something we’ve grown accustomed to seeing from Patrick Mahomes. The escapability was a definite positive considering the Bears’ offensive line is expected to be a bottom-tier unit this season. Williams targeted DJ Moore three times, Cole Kmet twice, D’Andre Swift once, and Rome Odunze once, notably failing to target veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen on any of his seven pass attempts. It’s too early to raise any alarm bells considering we’ve seen all of two offensive drives from the Bears’ starters.
