The Bears ’ new brain trust, then, has a low bar to clear and a lot of mistakes to clean up. Ben Johnson’s presence as the head coach and offensive play-caller will ensure the offense has a distinct personality — and person in charge. Those below him will work to deliver that message to Williams in a critical season for the second-year quarterback.

The Chicago Bears continue to prioritize Caleb Williams this offseason. After hiring new head coach Ben Johnson and shoring up the offensive line, the Bears signed veteran quarterback Case Keenum to a one-year deal to serve as a mentor in the quarterback room -- and perhaps even contend for the backup job.

It may have taken the Chicago Bears a year longer than it should've, but it certainly sounds like they've added the perfect mentor for Caleb Williams.
