Description
🐻🔥 The Chicago Bears offense is starting to look dangerous at OTAs — and Caleb Williams is right in the middle of it.
On today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the biggest standouts from Day 5 of Bears OTAs, including Caleb Williams, Luther Burden III, Zavion Thomas, Colston Loveland, and Jahdae Walker. With Year 2 of the Ben Johnson era underway, the Bears offense appears more comfortable, faster, and more explosive than it did a year ago.
Luther Burden III continues to flash as a potential breakout weapon, making plays in tight coverage and connecting with Caleb Williams on one of the best throws of practice. Zavion Thomas is also making noise with his speed, hands, and return ability as he fights for a role in a crowded wide receiver room. Meanwhile, Jahdae Walker is proving he should not be forgotten after flashing confidence, quickness, and natural hands.
Haize also reacts to Caleb Williams’ perfect two-word answer when asked about the Madden curse after being named the Madden 27 cover athlete. Williams’ “Damn right” response fits exactly what Bears fans want to hear from a franchise quarterback who is entering a massive season with MVP-level expectations.
The tight end room also had a strong OTA showing, led by Colston Loveland, who looks bigger, smoother, and ready for an even larger role in Ben Johnson’s offense. With Cole Kmet and rookie Sam Roush also in the mix, the Bears could have serious options in multiple-tight-end packages.
But it is not all hype. Haize also dives into the voicemail reactions from Bears fans, including concerns about the pass rush, why the Bears were never likely to pay the price for Myles Garrett, frustration with the ongoing stadium situation, and why national media skepticism around Chicago still exists despite last year’s success.
