The Chicago Bears are preparing for a crucial season, prioritizing the growth of quarterback with an improved offensive line and experienced leadership. Newly signed defensive tackle Grady Jarrett cited Williams’ potential as a key factor in his decision to join the team. Head coach Ben Johnson stressed the importance of strong coordination between the quarterback and center, especially in high-pressure situations. At the same time, GM Ryan Poles demonstrated flexibility by securing top-tier guards through trades to bolster the offensive line’s effectiveness and leadership.
If you’re a Chicago Bears fan, you’re probably dreaming of another season like 1985—the legendary Super Bowl year. But since then? It’s been a long and painful drought. Now, enter Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. With his arrival, hopes are high for a turnaround. To support him, the Bears made a major move by bringing in Ben Johnson as their offensive coordinator.
As the offseason heats up, Chicago has been busy building its roster. They’ve added three powerhouse players—Jonah Jackson, Grady Jarrett, and Joe Thuney. And when it comes to their impact, three-time Super Bowl champion Duron Harmon has some strong opinions.
During a conversation on The Big Pro Football Talk, Harmon was asked about these key signings and their effect on Caleb Williams’s squad. His response? “Very fast, and very quick, the Bears got better.” Bringing in experienced veterans to support a young QB is a smart strategy.
Harmon, who has played alongside all three recruits—Thuney with the Patriots, Jackson during his rookie year in Detroit, and Jarrett in Atlanta—praised their leadership and winning mentality. “They will be great leaders in that locker room. They all are winners. They all won when they played at a very high level,” he said. “So, kudos to the Bears on what they were able to do.”
