Caleb Williams struggles with deep ball on second day of Bears training camp practice

Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears quarterback, is experiencing early difficulties at training camp, though this isn't currently considered alarming. He is learning a new system beyond just the playbook, including how to practice according to Coach Ben Johnson's methods, which is described as a tough and ongoing learning process.

During Thursday's practice, Williams notably struggled with his passing, particularly on deep throws, as observed by reporter Mark Grote. While Grote noted Williams' performance looked better than on Wednesday, he still missed on several long passes downfield.

This issue with deep ball accuracy is a continuation of a concern that persisted throughout Williams' rookie season. This is surprising given that he was highly praised for elite accuracy before being drafted into the NFL.

It's emphasized that it's only the second day of training camp, suggesting timing issues could be a factor. However, Williams needs to build positive momentum as camp progresses to silence critics who are closely watching his performance.
