Jaquan Brisker believes Caleb Williams is going to take over the league
The Chicago Bears have had an impactful offseason that's been all about building around quarterback Caleb Williams. From the hiring of offensive genius Ben Johnson as head coach to overhauling the entire interior offensive line to adding more playmakers, the stage is set for Williams to have a breakout year.
Williams is coming off an encouraging rookie season, where he broke franchise and league records while showcasing his impressive skill and potenital -- all amid a disastrous 5-12 campaign, where the Bears lost 10 straight games and went through two head coaches and three offensive coordinators.
But that's all in the past, and Williams is primed for a big year, especially with all of the offseason additions. Safety Jaquan Brisker, is expecting a big year from his quarterback, where he issued a warning for the rest of the league: Williams is about to take over the league.
'He's a hard worker, he's very locked in, he's detailed," Brisker told Casino Beats. "And he's got that X-factor. I feel like he will take that next step. I feel like he has a chip on the shoulder from last season, especially the way it ended for us. We knew what the season was supposed to be, but it didn't go that way. And I feel like he's gonna have a chip on his shoulder to dominate the league.
'And, yeah, he's great. He's a great teammate, great person. Just puts his head down and works, and I'm sure he's working behind closed doors without posting. So it's gonna be scary, because I know he has that attitude to where he wants to get back at people. And I like that. I know he's gonna take over this league. Ben, him and Caleb paired up, it's going to be amazing. That's who Caleb wanted in the offseason. It's going to be amazing seeing Caleb grow, and he's ready.'
Despite a chaotic rookie season, Williams is poised to make a substantial leap in his second season as he works with Johnson, who turned Jared Goff into a Pro Bowl quarterback in Detroit. The head coach is in place; the offensive line is improved; the weapons are limitless. Williams is set up for success, which will only help Brisker and the defense dominate.

Lions sign veteran offensive tackle, waive Raequan Williams
The Lions have made their first roster move following the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Detroit has signed veteran offensive lineman Justin Herron and released defensive lineman Raequan Williams. Herron, 29, has been around the NFL since 2020, when he was a sixth-round pick of the New England Patriots. He played collegiately at Wake Forest and quickly took over the starting left tackle role in New England as a rookie, but has started just four games in the subsequent four seasons. Herron missed the 2024 season with an injury while a member of the New Orleans Saints. He's also played for the Raiders. Williams had signed with the Lions this spring after a successful tryout at the rookie minicamp. The former Michigan State tackle had not progressed up the depth chart in his quest to get back into the NFL. Per team sources, Herron will take over Williams' No. 76 on the roster. The move comes in the wake of Dan Skipper suffering a sprained left ankle in the exhibition opener. Skipper will miss some practice time. Starting left tackle Taylor Decker is starting positional drills in Sunday's practice.
