Overview
- Mike Singletary told the Up & Adams show that Patrick Mahomes would be his top pick in a redraft but said Caleb Williams is "in that mix," explicitly comparing Williams' leadership presence to Mahomes.
- Singletary praised the way a top quarterback commands respect in the huddle and said he sees similar traits in Williams when the team rallies around him.
- Williams followed his 2024 rookie year with a breakout 2025 season in which he set the Bears' single-season passing record, led seven fourth-quarter comebacks, and helped Chicago win its first playoff game since 2010.
- The Bears and coach Ben Johnson have emphasized offseason work on completion percentage, ball placement, quicker pocket decisions, and emotional control as Williams continues developing his game.
- Singletary's endorsement adds to broad national attention around Williams from media coverage, strong jersey sales, and a Madden cover appearance, raising expectations and putting new pressure on him to convert late-game heroics into more consistent wins.
