The chatter in Mobile often turns to the quarterback. Two years ago, as it related to Chicago, it was Justin Fields. Last year, it was Caleb Williams. This year, it’s the Ben Johnson-Caleb Williams pairing and a team that needs to bolster its offensive line.

The Chicago Bears entered a new era in January when they hired Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to be their new head coach. Johnson has never been a head coach before, but the Bears hope his brilliant play-calling displayed in Detroit will elevate second-year quarterback Caleb Williams and get the franchise back to the postseason.

The Chicago Bears could be on the verge of adding a major upgrade along one of the NFL’s most inconsistent offensive lines.
