Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has big aspirations for 2026.

In his first year under head coach Ben Johnson, Williams passed for nearly 4,000 yards; the Bears won the NFC North for the first time in 7 years and made the playoffs for the first time since 2020. But while speaking to reporters upon his return to the facility Monday, Williams made it clear that those accomplishments are only a stepping stone toward his true goal.
