    Caleb Williams is on pace for career highs, potentially breaking Chicago's passing yard record and surpassing Erik Kramer in his remarkable sophomore season.

    Caleb Williams is off to a good start in 2025, but he could set some career highs along the way if he continues his current pace. 

    Williams has 2,329 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and four interceptions through 10 games. He finished with 193 passing yards in the 19-17 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. 

    The quarterback had 3,541 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and six interceptions as a rookie.

    However, Bears' analyst Jacob Infante revealed Thursday that, with Williams' current pace, the quarterback has a chance to finish with 3,959 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

    He would also have a passer rating of 89.9 and a completion percentage of 59.7%.  

    If he does so, he would set career highs in passing yards, touchdowns and passer rating. 

    While he would finish just shy of passing for 4,000 yards, it would mean that he would break Chicago's single-season passing yards record. 

    Former Bears quarterback Erik Kramer currently holds the record. In the 1995 season, Kramer threw for 3,838 yards, 29 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He played for Chicago from 1994-1998. 

    Williams will pass Jay Cutler as well if he ends up with those numbers. Cutler has three single-season passing yards records to his name, finishing fourth in 2015 (3,659), third in 2009 (3,666) and second in 2014 (3,812). 

    While Williams has improved in year two, a big part of that is the additions to the offensive line. He went from the most sacked quarterback (68) in the league last season to the fifth-least (16) in 2025. 

    The Bears added free agent center Drew Dalman and traded for Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson. Darnell Wright has also solidified himself as the team's starting right tackle, while Theo Benedet has cemented himself at right tackle. 

    Williams is fifth in the franchise's history in single-season passing yards from his efforts during his rookie year. It would truly be an extraordinary achievement if he were able to get his name remembered in the Bears' history books in just his second season in the NFL. 

    It's crazy how much can change in just one year. Chicago went from a dumpster fire under Matt Eberflus to now contending for an NFC North division title under Ben Johnson. 

    The young quarterback has a chance to do something remarkable in his sophomore season in the Windy City. For now, he'll focus on the upcoming matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
