The Bears are the only NFL team that hasn’t had a quarterback pass for 4,000 yards in a season, and Caleb Williams is intent on ending that embarrassing conversation.
In a post-practice sit-down with NFL Network’s Stacey Dales and Brian Baldinger on Tuesday, Baldinger jokingly asked Williams if he’d ever heard that unfortunate fact.
“Breaking news,” Williams said with a laugh. “PSA: There’s never been a 4,000-yard passer. That’s a goal of mine.
“Why not strive and shoot for the moon? I want to be that guy to be able to do it. I want to be that guy to be able to go out there and have success as Bears QB.
“One of the biggest parts is being able to keep us on the field [by] delivering an accurate ball to my guys. It doesn’t matter if it’s a deep shot, intermediate or short game — deliver a nice, accurate ball so the playmakers can go make plays.”
Six NFL quarterbacks threw for 4,000 yards last season, and 10 did it the previous season.
Erik Kramer set the Bears’ single-season passing mark in 1995 with 3,838 yards. As a rookie last season, Williams had the fifth-highest total in franchise history at 3,541.
Accuracy was an issue, though, as Williams finished 33rd out of 39 qualifying quarterbacks by completing just 62.5% of his passes.
A day after going 4 of 16 in team drills, Fields, the former Bears quarterback, was unofficially 9 of 16 on Tuesday.

Multiple confrontations happened at all levels of the depth chart during the session, and cornerback Tyrique Stevenson said the defense was intent on making sure the offense knew “it was time to practice.”
