Welcome to the top 100, Caleb Williams! Finally, Chicago Bears fans know where he landed.
It was highly expected that Williams would make the top 100 based on NFL players' votes. The league announced that Williams is ranked 51st on the list. Williams joins Montez Sweat as the only Bears on the list so far.
Last year, Williams threw for 3,942 yards and 27 touchdowns to just seven interceptions, adding another four touchdowns to the stat line. He owns the NFL record for most comebacks and game-winning drives in a single season with seven and broke the franchise record for passing yards.

This is not a surprise, as Williams earned little respect from his peers as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. 2025 was a memorable year for Williams for what he accomplished for the Bears.
The Bears finished the season with an 11-6 record, winning the NFC North for the first time since 2018 and beating the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Wild Card, their first playoff win in a decade. Williams continued to make history for a franchise that has been needing a boost at the quarterback position for years.
Entering 2026, the Bears feel like a team that has a chance to break through and be one of the best. While many see their schedule as the league's toughest, they have Williams they can accomplish anything.
Williams has received universal praise for his ability to make any throw and for how clutch he is in big moments. The accuracy leaves much to be desired, but if he fixes that, he could become an elite signal-caller in the NFL.
