The Bears are spending the final week of their offseason program developing their young players in voluntary OTA practices Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Among the participants is quarterback Caleb Williams, who continues to digest a new system in his second NFL season under first-year coach Ben Johnson.

"He's committed to learning the offense," Johnson said. "We're not where we need to be yet as a team, and he understands that. Any chance he gets to get a few more full-speed reps, it sounds like he wants them."

Williams isn't the only one learning. Johnson has spent the offseason identifying the strengths and weaknesses of every Bears player, Williams included.

"We've loaded him up," Johnson said. "We're tried a number of different things: long play calls, multiple plays at the line. Tempo. We've dabbled here, there and everywhere really throughout the springtime. Some come a little bit more natural than others for him, but I do think we've seen him get better in really all facets."

Asked what has impressed him most about Williams, Johnson said: "There's always a throw or two every single day. The movement stuff outside of the pocket, it's what we thought coming into town here, the ability to create. Sometimes you get wrapped up … being in the perfect play all the time … and really with him, it doesn't matter so much what the play call is. If it's the perfect play, then it's great, it's there. If it's not, then he's able to find a way to make it work."

Williams' presence this week has not gone unnoticed by his teammates.

"It's great," said rookie linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II, a fourth-round pick from Maryland. "He wants to get better. He cares, obviously, about his team, about winning, about getting everything right, getting all the I's dotted and T's crossed. Seeing him around the building is very important for not only the team but for the young guys to see, including myself, that you have the leaders of the team always here and present, even when you know it's voluntary."

Loveland a pro's pro

Rookie first-round pick Colston Loveland, a tight end from Michigan, has impressed coaches despite being limited while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.

"What I can gather from the walkthroughs, from the meetings, is he's very professional," Johnson said. "He takes everything seriously. I think he's going to fit in really well once we start getting him to go full speed. I know coach [Jim] Dray's said to me numerous times how impressed he is for the types of questions he's asking at his young age."

Loveland has spent the offseason "really diving into that playbook."

"It's one thing to know it, but to go out there and do it in real time [is important]," he said. "It's the walkthrough reps, the mental reps. Those are huge and crucial."

During the assimilation process, Loveland has leaned on sixth-year pro Cole Kmet.

"All the tight ends have been super helpful, but Cole, that's a vet right there," Loveland said. "[He] does everything the right way. Really good at football; really good mentally, really good physically. He's a great guy to look up to, and he's been very [helpful] … If I run a route or do something, he'll tell me some things, how he sees it, some coverage things, or whatever it may be. He's been super helpful and I'm very appreciative."

Opportunity knocks

Second-round selection Ozzy Trapilo has enjoyed getting practice reps at left tackle with the No. 1 offense during offseason workouts.

"It's a really great opportunity," Trapilo said. "This is the perfect time for the coaches to do it. Rotate guys in. There are no pads or anything yet, so they're really just doing their best to get guys looks, get a feeling for it all. I'm going out there every opportunity I get, trying to make the most of it, and it's really beneficial to be able to work next to guys that have played in this league."

It would be difficult to find a better left guard to play next to than Joe Thuney, a four-time All-Pro and four-time Super Bowl champion the Bears acquired in a March trade with the Chiefs.

"When we're out there, especially after a rep, the benefit of practice is you can get back to the huddle and talk a little bit about it," Trapilo said. "You don't have to move on to the next play."

Trapilo also praised Kiran Amegadjie and Braxton Jones for helping him, even though all three individuals are competing for the same starting left tackle position.

"They're both fantastic guys," Trapilo said. "The whole O-line is really incredible. Coming in, you don't know how it's going to be. [But] everyone is such a good guy. [If] you have a question, they'll go out of their way to help you. That's for the entire room, [including] the tackle position. I've been really happy about that."
