The highlight reel from Caleb Williams’ two seasons at USC is stacked with one “hero” play after another as he lit up opposing secondaries. No wonder he was one of the most popular college athletes of his era.
That’s not typically how NFL games are won, though, and Williams is learning that in his rookie season with the Bears. There’s little thrill in checkdowns, but deciding to take the easy passes was key in his efficient performance to beat the Rams last week, and it’s critical that he continues to show proficiency in that area Sunday against the Panthers.
