Williams was already among the faster quarterbacks in the league, registering five runs of 20-plus mph last season — including 21.01 mph against the Niners in Week 17, which was the fastest recorded speed by a QB during the 2025 season, according to NFL's NextGen Stats.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Williams' elite mobility (21.01 mph top speed) and extended time to throw define his playmaking.

Williams was already among the league's fastest quarterbacks, registering five runs of 20-plus mph last season, including 21.01 mph against the 49ers in Week 17—the fastest recorded speed by any QB during the 2025 season per NFL NextGen Stats. His game centers on buying time to work magic downfield; he led the league in time to throw, routinely exceeding three seconds on average, with many memorable plays extending well beyond that threshold. Bears head coach Ben Johnson credited Williams' bulldog-like build and core/lower-body strength for his ability to escape sack attempts, noting "it is very difficult to bring him down in the pocket."
