Despite going 5-12 in his rookie year, Williams' play has drawn the attention of many around the league, including his new head coach Ben Johnson who faced him twice as a coach with the Detroit Lions. Johnson departed Detroit to become the Bears head coach this offseason, and he's not the only one who wanted to be with Williams this offseason.

Bears fans got their first dose of Jarrett, and the passion he'll bring on and off the field, in his opening news conference at Halas Hall.

In Odeyingbo, the Bears are paying $48 million for his potential, which Odeyingbo said improves as he enters each season. He learned this as a rookie, when he was limited to 10 games after suffering a torn achilles in his final season at Vanderbilt.
