Caleb Williams prioritizes competition over friendships with QBs

Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears quarterback and last year's number one draft pick, is preparing for a pivotal second season after a challenging rookie year marked by inconsistent performance and a high number of sacks. Williams is focused on maintaining a competitive edge and has expressed disinterest in forming friendships with other NFL quarterbacks, as he believes it could diminish his competitive advantage (Marca, Sports Illustrated, Sportskeeda, CBS Sports, Yahoo Sports). The Bears, who finished 5-12 last season, have brought in new head coach Ben Johnson and offensive lineman Joe Thuney to bolster their lineup and support Williams (Marca, Sportskeeda). Williams aims for significant improvements in his game, particularly in processing, decision-making, and footwork, as he and the Bears strive for a more successful season (CBS Sports, Yahoo Sports).
