Caleb Williams contemplated bypassing the Bears draft along with possible participation in the UFL, as suggested in a written account.
Cruising Through the 2025 NFL Season: Bears vs. Packers Showdown
The suspense is building, NFL fanatics! The schedule for 2025 is out, and one of the eagerly anticipated matchups is the Green Bay Packers squaring off against our very own Chicago Bears, members of the mighty NFC North.
Remember Eli Manning and John Elway? Well, they almost had some company. A whopper of a book details how Caleb Williams nearly shunned the Bears during the 2024 draft. Apparently, he and his camp were on a quest for a clever loophole in the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, all the while Williams' father, Carl, was voicing his concerns about the Bears being a quarterback's kryptonite.
But let's get back to the upcoming season. Will these games mark the start of a new era for the Bears, or will the Packers continue to rule the roost?
Despite some rocky moments, Caleb managed to hold his own in his rookie season, amassing a respectable 20 touchdowns, six interceptions, 3,541 passing yards, and 489 rushing yards. He even managed the most total yards ever by a Bears quarterback!
Now, with some additional help in the 2025 NFL Draft in the form of Michigan tight end Colston Loveland, the future looks a bit brighter for our team.
As for the head coaching front, former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson officially joined forces with the Bears, following the departure of Matt Eberflus and Shane Waldron. This appointment was music to Williams' ears. "It's brought a bunch of clarity to the offseason," he beamed, adding that he was thrilled about the potential long-term partnership between Johnson and the Bears.
The Bears and Packers have quite the history, and the rivalry is set to heat up in 2025 – arguably more so than ever before. With the new coaching staff and a revitalized quarterback in Caleb Williams, the games are sure to be electrifying and pulse-pounding, especially as Williams aims for a historic milestone by breaking the 4,000-yard passing mark.
So, mark your calendars! The Packers-Bears matchups are shaping up to be something special this season. Let the battle commence!
