Caleb Williams enters his second professional season after an underwhelming rookie campaign.
Although some rookie quarterbacks have shined in their first season, it's not always the case for the top picks. Williams has a full year under his belt and will begin his second season against the Dolphins in the preseason.
The Bears will look to improve on their 5-12 record, while the Dolphins will look to get back above .500. They finished 8-9 last season and the main question heading into the season is Tua Tagovailoa's health.
Tagovailoa has only played one full season, which was also the year Miami reached the playoffs with an 11-6 record.
