After the Chicago Bears pulled out their first real dose of trickery last week against the Dallas Cowboys, fans are now on the edge of their seats waiting for what Ben Johnson has next.
The Caleb Williams-to-Luther Burden III connection that came off an infamous flea flicker against the Cowboys was just the beginning. I have a feeling we're about to start having even more fun watching this team.
And, if one of the Bears' latest practice videos is any indication, we could be soon seeing Williams take center stage once again, but in a different manner.
During a drill where offensive skill players were working on catching and ball security, Williams was seen working in with the group as he caught a ball, secured it, and turned to run through a series of pads and hurdles.
Caleb Williams might be in line for a sneaky trick play in the Bears' near future
If you think about it, Williams is actually a fairly-mobile quarterback. He will use his legs when he has to and often picks up decent yardage when doing so.
There might be a world where we see Williams end up running a short-to-intermediate route and, if he's open, he'd have a little room to run after the catch. In any other offense this might seem strange, but we're talking about Ben Johnson.
This is the same head coach who had offensive linemen catching passes at summer practices, at times, after all. Nothing is off the table for one of the more creative offensive minds in the league.
For Johnson, last week's win over the Cowboys was a nice coming-out party. Fans had been waiting to see the creativity from their new head coach. Williams and Burden sure provided it, too, along with a legitimate "wow" moment when the play was all said and done.
Don't forget, Jared Goff caught a pass back in 2022 under Johnson's leadership and then, in 2024, he caught another one -- this time for a touchdown.
To think Williams may end up running a route or two sounds funny at first, especially due to any potential risk of injury. But Johnson's done these things before. Now, it's Chicago's turn to watch the fireworks take place.
