It's a legitimate concern whether Williams has taken substantive steps in his development or if the incoming coach will be somewhat starting from scratch.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young took 62 sacks last season, and it took a benching this season to help him find his groove again. That amount of sacks absolutely hindered Young in his rookie season and likely carried over to his sophomore struggles before the benching.

Caleb Williams is embarking on a crucial rookie season, trying to lean on a veteran Chicago Bears team as he navigates the highs and lows that come with development in the NFL.
