While it's only preseason, Williams' outing against the Bills showed lots of promise. He completed six of his 10 passes, recording 107 yards and a touchdown. Bears coach Ben Johnson said Sunday's performance was a testament to the offseason Williams had.

Caleb Williams took advantage of his first preseason playing time, connecting with Olamide Zaccheaus for a 36-yard touchdown on the opening drive as the Chicago Bears cruised to 38-0 preseason victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.

But the preseason performance was a good sign with regard to Williams' chances of making a second-year leap with the Bears. "He's really been locked in," Johnson said after the 38-0 drubbing of the Bills.
