He emphasized that mobility is when he feels "at my best, and that's when I feel free."

The source notes he is 'exactly where I want to be for our plan, and actually was a little bit ahead of where he was last year going into the season.'

Cole KmetPositiveWindy City Gridiron
Tight end Cole Kmet, the Bears' longest-tenured player entering his seventh season with the organization, highlighted the operational clarity and coaching continuity as a major difference in this year's training camp compared to previous years. Kmet stated: "It's a different feel to camp than maybe in years past. I've spent a lot of my career wondering what's next and how's tomorrow going to go. I feel like I kinda know what to expect at this point, especially with this staff, and what they want to get done and what they expect from each individual." He emphasized the value of understanding his role within the offensive scheme and the team's direction: "It's nice coming in and getting ready for a season understanding how you fit in the scheme of things, and then also the direction of this offense, where we want it go, and the identity we want to forge." Kmet described the start of training camp as "operationally sound."
Caleb WilliamsPositiveWindy City Gridiron
Cornerback Jaylon Johnson, the Bears' longest-tenured player entering his seventh season, offered direct praise of Williams' performance in training camp: "Caleb's the best quarterback I've had since maybe Nick Foles if you want to go back that far. Just as far as slinging it, he's doing his thing. You can see the accuracy. You can see the confidence throwing the ball in tight windows." Johnson characterized this as "the best offense I've had in 7 years" and highlighted the unit's buy-in and belief in the offensive system.
