Ball security, takeaways, and completion percentage are emphasized through daily coaching and evaluation. Completion percentage is tracked with charts showing prior performance, drops, and scramble-drill outcomes. Players are held to high self-standards during drills, including routes on air and attention to ball placement. Pass catchers receive opportunities to run after the catch while coaches grade where the football is delivered. The approach reflects a strong coach-quarterback relationship that allows direct challenge without tension. Caleb Williams’ development is linked to being pushed hard, with improved production as a second-year player, while further improvement remains the goal.
"“You get what you emphasize. That's what I've learned in this industry. And ball security, takeaways, is something we emphasize. We'll continue to emphasize it. That shows up. Completion percentage is something that we're going to emphasize, and so what did they get when they came into the offensive meeting today? They got the chart of what was our completion percentage yesterday, who had drops, what did our scramble drill look like when those naturally occurred.”"
"“Those guys are really critical of themselves in drill settings, routes on air, where the ball placement is. We want to give these pass catchers, we have so many talented ones, opportunities to run after the catch, and so we're being very critical on where we're putting that football with them, and that's something that we grade every day.”"
"“Caleb Williams wanted to be pushed hard as a rookie, so the Bears responded by hiring a head coach who would do it with no hesitation. As a result, Williams saw his passing yardage and touchdowns tick up as a second-year player who led his team to a division title and a playoff win last season. But Johsnon wants more. So does Williams.”"
