There was plenty of optimism and excitement when the Chicago Bears used the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on Caleb Williams, the talented quarterback out of the University of Southern California.
There were some mild concerns about Williams, a player who often went off-script in college, but he was still expected to take the NFL by storm, at least eventually.
Instead, he has struggled in his rookie season, and the Bears are 4-10 and riding an eight-game losing streak heading into Week 16.
However, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson recently had some nice things to say about Williams, and it has some fans speculating on social media that he could end up as Chicago’s next head coach.

With Bill Belichick now at the University of North Carolina, Johnson could be the hottest head coaching candidate in the NFL, along with Mike Vrabel, the former head coach of the Tennessee Titans.
Johnson has had a big hand in the Lions’ turnaround over the past two seasons, and despite several key injuries, the Lions have a 12-2 record and a good shot at home-field advantage through the NFC Championship Game.
This could be the year they play in the Super Bowl for the first time and deliver Detroit the Vince Lombardi Trophy fans have forever been starving for.
Through 14 games, Williams has thrown for a modest 2,937 yards and 17 touchdowns and has completed 61.9 percent of his pass attempts, but he has thrown just five interceptions, and perhaps he just needs seasoning and the right coaching to achieve greatness.
