The hope and optimism around Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is extremely high coming into the 2025 season, and expectations are high even among teammates.
With new head coach Ben Johnson leading the way this season, there is plenty of reason to believe that Williams will take a big leap in his growth and development, and wide receiver Rome Odunze believes Williams can develop into a star quarterback.
Both Williams and Odunze were both first round picks for the Bears last season, and both are key pieces to the team’s success for the foreseeable future, along with their new head coach. On Thursday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler appeared on “Get Up” and revealed a bold claim from Odunze: Williams can be the best quarterback in the NFL.
“Rome Odunze told me that Caleb Williams can literally be the best quarterback in the NFL,” Fowler said before giving his point of view of what he’s seen with the Bears so far. “He’s far away from that right now, Ben Johnson has been relentless on him with the details. They’re just trying to get him to do the basics right now and then they’ll work on the off-scripted plays, the mobility, all his strengths, that will come. Chicago Bears, elite quarterback play is an oxymoron. As far as the ability (of Williams), they see it, the players recognize it, they just have to get it out of him. They’re treating him like a rookie right now.”
While Odunze has high hopes for Williams, it’s clear that the Bears and the new coaching staff are going through a full rebuild of their young quarterback. Before Williams can approach best quarterback in the NFL territory, the Bears are just looking to get him to fix himself from a lost and disappointing rookie season, and the bad habits he may have picked up along the way.
