Some statistics are so mind-boggling that they beg the question if they are really true.
One recently arose concerning the Chicago Bears and their struggles with finding the right quarterback to lead the team back to prominence.
Could Caleb Williams be the answer to their quarterback woes?
According to NFL on ESPN, in the Bears’ 104-year history, the team has never had a quarterback reach 4,000 passing yards or 30 touchdowns in a season.
That Jay Cutler came close in 2014 with 3,812 passing yards and 28 touchdowns, but never surpassed those marks.
When Caleb Williams starts the first game of the season, he will become the 40th quarterback to start for the Bears since 1989.
Williams recently signed his four-year, $39.4 million rookie contract and is seen as the solution to the Bears’ quarterback struggles.
Reports indicate that Williams is adapting well to the NFL game but is learning new techniques not used in college.
It may be ambitious to expect Williams to completely turn around the Bears’ fortunes in his rookie year, but he has the potential to be a top-level NFL quarterback.
The pieces are in place for his success, and the city of Chicago is eager for him to make a difference on the field.
