The Chicago Bears held an OTA at Halas Hall earlier today for their rookies, but a handful of young veterans were in attendance, including second-year players Rome Odunze and Caleb Williams.

Head coach Ben Johsnon met the media after the practice, and he talked about his quarterback, saying they’ve been throwing a lot at him all offseason and that Williams has been “getting better in really all facets.”

“We’ll have to sit down as a staff before we leave and when we come back, just to make sure we’re honed in on what direction we want to go altogether,” Johnson...

Chicago Bears fans have discussed the running back position all offseason, as many were hoping for a new number one, or at the very least, a strong complement to push for the number two job. Whether it be via free agency (Nick Chubb, J.K. Dobbins), the NFL Draft (Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton, TreVeyon Henderson, Quinshon Judkins, etc.), or via trade (Kenneth Walker, Travis Etienne, or Tyler Allgeier to name a few), fans have been wondering when Ryan Poles would add to the running back room.

The draft didn’t fall in a way where Chicago could get a back early, and...

In the fourth article of a five-part roundtable series, the WCG staff ranks the top 50 players in the NFC North heading into 2025.

The 2025 NFL season is a few months away, and the anticipation for the start of the season is at an extremely high level.

As the NFL Network has done their player consensus Top 100 ranking each year, Windy City Gridiron’s staff has put together a roundtable over the last few seasons of the best players in the NFC North. With seven contributors pitching in for this year’s roundtable, there was a strong diversity of opinions...

Will the third year running back find a place offensively?

It’s time to kick off our series of the 10 Chicago Bears with the most to prove. We’ve reviewed the 2024 list, and unfortunately, most of the 2024 list didn’t end up on the right side of the list, which certainly contributed to their 5-12 season.

The 2025 list is here. There are a few names that have returned and are on the 2025 list, but there are plenty of new names on the list as well. One of those new names is number ten on the list, running back...

Following a disastrous rookie campaign, Caleb Williams has a chance to get back on track in Year 2 under a newly made coaching staff and loaded offense. All that is left to do is for him to prove why he was the No. 1 overall selection in last year’s draft.

This time a year ago, the Chicago Bears and their fan base were on pins and needles, waiting for the start of training camp. Optimism was at an all-time high after yet another offseason of big spending and the selection of two first-round picks, including Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze,...

The Bears roster is as deep as it has been in a long time. Pair that with a brand new coaching staff, and there is bound to be an unexpected cut or two.

The Chicago Bears have wrapped up their mandatory mini-camp, which triggers the longest void space in the NFL calendar. We will not see another mandatory Bears practice until late July.

So, what do we do with this time? You could go swimming. Get an ice cream cone. Maybe light a firecracker or two. But before you know it, that unending desire to talk football will creep back...

The makeover that the Chicago Bears gave to the interior of their offensive line may be one of the biggest position group upgrades the franchise has ever done in one offseason. They’ll need to perform when the whistle blows, but on paper, this group has the potential to be one of the best in the league.

Pro Football Focus has been sharing their top 32 players ranking at each position, and they have the Bears with the second-best guard tandem in the NFL.

Their number two guard in the league is Joe Thuney, and here’s what they had to say...

With Ben Johnson running the show, the Chicago Bears’ offense will improve, and when the Bears get a few more in the win column than last season’s five, then the odds are good that there will be some individual accolades to follow.

We asked you guys a few days ago to make your pick for the Bear most likely to be a first-time Pro Bowler, and the top two vote-getters were extremely close.

Second-year quarterback Caleb Williams and third-year right tackle Darnell Wright were separated by a single percentage point.

Wright’s path in the NFC at tackle is tough with...

Can Roschon Johnson be Ben Johnson’s Jamaal Williams, or is short-yardage back and special teamer his ceiling?

When Roschon Johnson was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2023, I thought they were getting a low-mileage back with three-down potential who also had special teams experience. He could catch and block, and while he lacked breakaway speed, he ran hard enough to break arm tackles and get tough yards. At the very least, I figured he could develop into a viable RB2, but I thought he had a real shot at eventually becoming a starter.

In his rookie season, he showed...
