The Chicago Bears finished in the NFC North cellar last season, giving the team's front office plenty to think about heading into 2025.
Chicago responded with the hiring of highly celebrated Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, giving former number one overall pick Caleb Williams the chance to learn a whole new system with a proven track record and two division titles to its name.
On Saturday, Johnson's plans for the new Bears' offense with the former USC Trojans star behind center were revealed, with Johnson making an emphatic statement as to the type of offensive attack he wants to say take hold in the Windy City.
"Standing on the opposite sideline from him this year, I gained a tremendous amount of respect for not only the talent level that he possesses but also the type of person he is," Johnson said. "This is going to be really, I like to fancy the quarterback's offense."
The Bears finished near the bottom of the NFL in passing years during Williams' 2024 rookie season with 3,552.
Johnson envisions Williams as the focal point of his team's offense next season.
"We're going to tailor this right around Caleb Williams," Johnson said. "It will not be necessarily what you've seen me (do) the last three years. We're gonna find out exactly what our quarterback does well and that's really where we're going to anchor on."
