Williams threw for 3,942 yards in the 2025 regular season and 4,560 yards including postseason, putting him on the verge of breaking the Bears' historic 4,000-yard passer drought. In his second season under Ben Johnson, Williams has progressed from pre-snap mechanics to post-snap anticipation and coverage recognition; Johnson noted that Williams is no longer thinking about play calls and cadences, allowing him to process coverage faster. Williams himself emphasized that Johnson is adding more detailed coverage reads and checks to his plate, enabling him to identify where to go with the ball sooner—a progression Johnson expects to show up in 2026 camp and translate to game performance.
