Caleb Williams' body language often seemed to draw attention through his rookie season and even into Chicago Bears training camp last year.
Sometimes Williams didn't exactly exude confidence or leadership the way a quarterback in the NFL needs to, but seven fourth-quarter comebacks last season/postseason took care of allthis and certainly being put on the cover of Madden couldn't hurt anyone's swagger.
People often need refresher courses, though, and it appears Williams did already in this offseason. He already addressed it through the help of a new player, former Lions receiver Kalif Raymond.
“Kalif has only been here for, I don't know, a couple months or so," Williams said at minicamp. "But Kalif came up to me and it was a day I wasn't having the best practice. So, I got really frustrated. Kalif came up to me and said, ‘You know everybody's looking at you.’

Because that's been something that from my first year to now that I want to be as stoic as possible. Good, bad, or indifferent, not be too high or too low for the guys. So when he said that to me, it stuck with me and it bothered me. Just every day having that type of mindset, be as stoic as possible, be as strong as possible for the guys because they're looking at me. It takes a lot to do that because the passion and the energy in the sport is so strong. But it's important to me, it's important to guys, it’s important to coach.”
