Caleb Williams had to ‘step away from football’ after hard year with Chicago Bears
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams took a great step in his career in 2025.

Working under first-year head coach Ben Johnson, Williams started the season a little slow before gaining momentum around the middle of the season. By the end of the regular season, Williams was playing hero, leading the Bears to a heroic fourth-quarter comeback against the Green Bay Packers.
In the postseason, Williams led Chicago to another comeback win over the Packers in the wild-card round and nearly led the team to another cardiac win over the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round.
The loss to the Rams came after Williams threw an interception on a pass that was intended for DJ Moore. Whether Moore gave up on the play or was confused is unclear, but the pain of the loss to Los Angeles made Williams need a break before returning to OTA this spring.
“It was one of the harder years, I’d say, to step away for a little bit,” Williams told reporters on Monday, via Courtney Cronin of ESPN. “And so, I think I found a little path in there at some point, but it took me a little bit to get over the season and things like that.”
Williams will have to adjust to being under the microscope in Chicago in 2026. While the No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft was expected to face pressure to be elite in the league, it took some time for Williams to emerge as the face of the franchise.

Williams is happy to be in the position.
“I’ve always expected this because I’ve wanted to be here,” Williams said of the spotlight. “This is where I’ve wanted to be. I’ve wanted to be in this position…it’s where I want to be, it’s where I thought I was gonna be, it’s where I manifested whatever you wanna say, spoke it into existence of where I wanna be.
“And I have goals and things like that won’t allow me to get distracted.”
The goals for Williams and the Bears are to make postseason runs. He knows what it’s like to lose in the playoffs. A Super Bowl run would cure those ills.
