Lake Forest, Illinois. – The quarter of the Chicago Bears Caleb Williams faced Ginormous expectations during his football career, from the moment he won the Heisman trophy at the USC at the editorial staff of n ° 1 in 2024.
He does not only have the goals he set him and the team when the Bears’ 5-12 arrived last season weighed on the quarter. This played a role in Williams, 23, publicly declaring several ambitions which he has for himself in 2025, notably at launch for 4,000 yards while filling 70% of his passes.
But even in the midst of so high objectives and the expectation that he will develop in quarter of the Chicago franchise, Williams said he felt no external weight to keep these promises.
“Pressure is not one thing for me,” said Williams on the ESPN 1000 “Waddle & Silvy” show. “I don’t think about it.
“It is not my job to worry about what is the outside noise and things like that. My job is to take care of everything here and go there and play. I know that we have not won as many games as we wanted last year, but I did not get 20 years [touchdowns] And 20 interceptions and things like that. So you know, take it for what you want, but no pressure is widespread; Pressure is a privilege, but you know the situation in which I am. I don’t think I have pressure. “”
Williams launched for 3,541 yards, 20 affected and 6 interceptions as a recruit, which was the fifth best outing in a single season by a quarter of the Bears. To reach his goal of 4,000 yards for 2025 would make him the first quarter of the franchise to reach this brand. Although he will have to wait until September to start glowing this goal, the quarterrier undoubtedly set up his best training in training camp training Thursday, when the unforeseen moments served as a teaching ground for the Bears Ben Johnson coach.
“We walked in the field and the helmet started to go out on me, and I became a little frustrated,” said Williams. “Well came to me after, and he said to me:” Have a few pieces in mind if it happens. “It is more responsibility for me and for this team and having some games than if the clock is running, the helmet comes out or that it is drawing up or something – you do not hear the game calculation – it’s some games, go for it and do not go out there and complain and things like that.”
The growth that Williams posted during the first eight days of the camp has won praise from his head coach.
“He knows what is coming, and we come to the point where I don’t even have to say as much,” said Johnson. “It is also hard with himself that I am on him, and he is disappointed when we do not spit the games in the group as we should or that we do not take the right drop or that our eyes are not in the right place.
“It happens to this point where it is more self-body, and we left from there. I am really excited by the place where it is mentally.”
