Ben Johnson’s Coaching Adapts to Diverse QB Styles
Coach Ben Johnson demonstrates remarkable adaptability by transitioning between quarterbacks with contrasting skills, impacting player performance positively.
After Ben Johnson became the Bears' head coach in 2025, there was a lot of focus on how his presence would impact quarterback Caleb Williams and much of that discussion focused on Williams's accuracy as a passer.

Johnson has emphasized the overall volume and quality of Williams’ training-camp repetitions over the value of a few possessions in an exhibition game.
