Episode Details

The Chicago Bears’ young core is starting to get national respect, but the NFL still may not be fully buying what Ben Johnson is building in Chicago. On today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize reacts to Caleb Williams and Colston Loveland being named among the NFL’s top players age 25 and under, while Darnell Wright just missed the list.

Caleb Williams came in at No. 7 after setting the Bears single-season passing record, leading an NFL-record seven fourth-quarter comebacks and helping Chicago win the NFC North. Colston Loveland landed at No. 25 after a strong rookie season and a monster finish that has many expecting a superstar leap in 2026.

Haize also breaks down why the Bears’ offensive trio of Caleb Williams, D’Andre Swift and Colston Loveland being ranked 13th still feels low, and why Chicago’s offense has a chip on its shoulder heading into Year 2 under Ben Johnson.

Plus, the show dives into five under-the-radar Bears defenders to watch at training camp: Malik Muhammad, D’Marco Jackson, Cam Lewis, Jordan van den Berg and Jack Sanborn. Could one of them become a key piece for Dennis Allen’s defense?

And finally, Colston Loveland made it clear that the Bears-Packers rivalry is everywhere inside Halas Hall. Haize reacts to why Loveland already gets what it means to be a Chicago Bear
