Rex Grossman Thinks Caleb Williams Is About to Make Bears History
The last time the Bears made it to the Super Bowl, Rex Grossman was calling the shots. Now, he’s looking at Caleb Williams and seeing something big—like record-breaking big.
In a recent interview, Grossman gave props to the Bears’ new QB1, saying Caleb has that special “off-script” ability most quarterbacks just don’t. “I sure as hell couldn’t do it,” Grossman admitted. “He just needs to know when to stay in the pocket and not try to be Superman every play.”
But the biggest takeaway? Rex believes Caleb will be the first Bears quarterback to ever throw for over 4,000 yards in a season. Let that sink in—this franchise has never had a 4,000-yard passer. Rex thinks 2025 is the year that changes, predicting Caleb will hit somewhere around 4,200–4,300 yards if the offense stays balanced.
Grossman also brushed off rumors that Caleb wanted to be drafted by the Vikings before visiting Chicago. According to Rex, that’s all ancient history. “He’s all-in now,” Grossman said. “Once you’re in Chicago, with the fans, the staff, the vibe—it clicks. I know he’s bought in.”
Fun fact: Grossman and Williams are both undefeated at Lambeau Field—Rex went 3-0 there, and Caleb’s 1-0 so far.
Long story short? One former Bears QB thinks the future of the franchise is finally in good hands—and maybe even on the verge of rewriting the record books.
