The Chicago Bears offseason program officially got underway on Monday. The majority of teams will not start their program until April 21 or 22, but the Bears are one of the teams permitted to start earlier since they have a new head coach in Ben Johnson.

Early in their pairing as the engine of the Chicago Bears offense, quarterback Caleb Williams senses a strong connection with first-year head coach Ben Johnson.

LaFleur, whose team went 1-5 against the Lions during Johnson's three seasons as Detroit's offensive coordinator (including season sweeps at the hands of Detroit in 2022 and in 2024), was asked about Johnson's comments during the NFL annual league meeting.
