HITTING THE MARK: Ben Johnson Expects Big Jump in Caleb Williams’ Completion Percentage | CHGO Bears
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson and GM Ryan Poles sat down with Hoge and Jahns to discuss how the Bears can reach their next steps in 2026. One of the ways they can do that is by QB Caleb Williams making strides with his completion percentage. Johnson said the goal for Caleb in 2025 was to reach 70%, and despite falling well short, he said there were nearly 100 throws that the team left on the table. Should we expect a 70% completion percentage in 2026? Plus, Ryan Poles discussed how to team will approach the NFL Draft, including sticking to a ‘best player available’ approach.
