The Chicago Bears opened mandatory minicamp at Halas Hall, and Day 1 gave Bears fans plenty to talk about. On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the biggest takeaways from Bears minicamp — including Jaylon Johnson looking like his Pro Bowl self, the defense dominating practice, Caleb Williams having a tougher day, and why fans should not overreact to non-padded June football.Jaylon Johnson reportedly picked off Caleb Williams twice during team drills, including one interception that appeared to come from a miscommunication with Kalif Raymond. But while the defense controlled the day, there were still positive signs from the Bears offense, including flashes from Raymond, rookie Zavion Thomas, Colston Loveland, and the continued development of Caleb Williams inside Ben Johnson's offense.Haize also dives into Ben Johnson's comments on Colston Loveland, why the second-year tight end could be a major piece of the Bears passing attack, and why Johnson believes there is no “secret sauce” for NFL defenses to figure out Caleb Williams. With Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, Loveland, and a growing group of playmakers, the Bears offense still has massive upside heading into the 2026 NFL season.Plus, what does Ben Johnson want the Bears to accomplish during minicamp?
