Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams spent his first preseason game watching from the sidelines. But after some struggles in camp from the offense as a whole, new head coach Ben Johnson told the media “ everyone’s going to play,” in their upcoming preseason contest against Buffalo.

It was a rough first season for Williams and Co. in the Windy City last season, who went 5-12 while surrendering an NFL-most 68 sacks.

Johnson revealed what he sees as the key for Williams to take the next step in his second NFL season.

“I’ve been pretty consistent with the thought that reps, reps, reps are the most important thing,” he said.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Despite the poor record, Williams still put up strong passing numbers in his rookie campaign, throwing for 3,541 yards and 20 touchdowns to six interceptions. With that being said, can you name the NFL quarterbacks with the most passing yards in their rookie seasons?

Good luck!
