Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams top-10 ranking revealed among NFL coaches, execs

Chicago Bears star quarterback Caleb Williams is certainly a player that is on the rise. With his signature win in the NFL Playoffs against the hated Green Bay Packers, Williams is starting to see more recognition come his way from multiple sources.

Of course, he has already been revealed to be on the cover of the next Madden video game. As the NFL continues to roll out its top-100 players list (as voted on by the players), it is widely known that Williams is on it, but just how high remains to be seen. He is, though, ranked above Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who was ranked 72nd.

Now, he has been counted among the top-10 quarterbacks in the NFL by league coaches, executives, and scouts.

Coaches, execs, and scouts rank Chicago Bears star Caleb Williams as a top-10 quarterback

ESPN recently released its list of the top-10 quarterbacks in the NFL as voted on by league coaches, executives, and scouts. Williams came in with the 10th overall ranking, above Love who was left off the list:

“Four quarterbacks — Williams, Seattle’s Sam Darnold, Green Bay’s Jordan Love and Washington’s Jayden Daniels — were very close in voting for the 10th spot. So we took it to tiebreakers, gathering input from several general managers and executives. Why did Williams barely win out for the final spot on the list? He’s the hardest of the four for teams to prepare for and defend.

“‘He’s the most dynamic of the group,’ one GM said. ‘He’s got the arm talent and overall athleticism suited for today’s game.’”

Some voters did not rank Williams in the top ten because of his accuracy issues in 2025, which both the Bears quarterback and head coach Ben Johnson have stated is an area of focus this off-season.

Others, though, voted Williams has high as the sixth-best quarterback in the NFL. It is interesting to note, too, that with the tiebreakers employed by ESPN, the Bears quarterback ended up ranked higher than Sam Darnold, who just won the Super Bowl.
