Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson recently offered a comparison between rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and veteran Nick Foles, sparking discussion about the team’s current quarterback situation. The statement suggests Williams has not yet surpassed previous quarterbacks during Johnson's time with the Bears.
Johnson, speaking to reporters, stated: “Caleb Williams is the best quarterback I’ve had since Nick Foles.” This comparison, while seemingly positive on the surface, implies that Williams isn’t currently performing at a level exceeding that of Foles, who played for the Bears in 2020. Johnson has been with the Bears for seven years.
The statement is notable because it arrives early in Williams' career as the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. While expectations are high for the young quarterback to become a franchise cornerstone, Johnson’s assessment indicates that Williams still has progress to make before being considered the team’s best signal-caller during Johnson’s tenure.
