Video: Ben Johnson Details Jared Goff-Like Plan for Caleb Williams, Bears Offense

After shaping the Detroit Lions' offense around Jared Goff for three seasons, newly-hired Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson plans to make similar moves around Caleb Williams.

"We'll take the same track and mindset that we had with Jared, which is, we're going to build this thing around him," Johnson said Friday on the Rich Eisen Show (2:00 mark of the video below.) Johnson went on to provide some insight as to how he saw the Bears' offense taking shape around Williams: Johnson said it would take sitting down and watching tape with Williams to determine the specifics of his offensive plans, but added that early conversations with the incoming second-year quarterback left him optimistic about their future relationship.

"That's why I'm so encouraged so far.

He's been very receptive," Johnson told Eisen.

"He wants to be coached hard.

This will be a different experience for him than what he's ever had here in college, or so far in the NFL.

But we'll see how far we can push the envelope with him." Goff had some of the best seasons of his career through three years playing in Johnson's system in Detroit.

He finished the 2024 campaign with career highs in passing touchdowns (37, good for fourth in the NFL) and QBR (68.4 quarterback rating, sixth highest in the league.) Williams meanwhile took 68 sacks, the third-most in NFL history, while ranking 28th in the league with a 46.7 quarterback rating during his rookie 2024 season.

The Bears will hope bringing Johnson into the fold can help the former No.

1 pick turn those numbers around during his second season the NFL..
