(7) Johnson has high expectations for Williams.
As a rookie, the No. 1 pick in last year's draft completed 62.5% of his passes for 3,541 yards with 20 touchdowns, six interceptions and an 87.7 passer rating.
"We certainly have goals that we strive for," Johnson said. "It's not a secret. I told him I would love for him this season to complete 70% of his balls. So you would like to think over the course of practice that we're completing 70% or more, or that's hard to just magically arise in a game. It's a lofty goal, but it's one we're going to strive for. We're going to use that as a benchmark and kind of work from there."
Johnson feels that Williams is primed to ascend in his second NFL season.
"I think we're ready to go," said the Bears coach. "The governor is off. He and I have been talking all spring, all summer, constant phone calls, constant conversations. I think we're in a great place and he wants to get coached hard—and we're going to push him as hard as we can and do what is right for the team."
(8) Williams also shared his individual goals with the media.
"Being the first 4,000-yard passer in Bears history, that's a goal of mine," he said. "Seventy-percent completion, that helps the team, keeps us on the field, puts us in better positions. And then other than that, just trying to go down and score the most points that we can with each drive that we have. That's kind of my self-goal, and obviously other than that, you've got to go win. That's success for me. That's success for the team. That's all we wish for and I wish for."
