NFC Notes: Jordan Love, Caleb Williams, Bears, Lions, Packers

Bears

Bears first-round QB Caleb Williams discussed how heโ€™s measuring his progress.

โ€œFirst, I ask questions. I ask questions to Coach. I ask about my progression, I ask where he wants me to be, where I should be, and then obviously I have my own goal set for myself and thatโ€™s to be perfect. Obviously you strive for something like that and you donโ€™t ever reach it, but you keep striving for it. Whether itโ€™s a day that I like or a day that I donโ€™t, thereโ€™s always good and bad in it, so just finding my balance and reaching and striving for my goal,โ€ Williams said, per Courtney Cronin.

Lions

  • Lions OC Ben Johnson on when he might take a HC opportunity: โ€œIโ€™m not willing to go down the other path yet unless I feel really good about how itโ€™s gonna unfold.โ€ (Mike Florio)
  • Detroit DC Aaron Glenn implied they will lean on an aggressive man-heavy defense in 2024: โ€œItโ€™s smothering when it comes to defense and thatโ€™s who I am as a coach. I like to smother the offense.โ€ (Lionsโ€™ website)
  • According to Kyle Meinke, Lions HC Dan Campbell said it โ€œsounds likeโ€ DT D.J. Reader wonโ€™t be ready to start camp but everyone else should be.

Packers

Packers QB Jordan Love said his largest focus this offseason is โ€œstaying poised in the pocketโ€ and feels he drifted too often last year. 

โ€œThereโ€™s always little things,โ€ Love said, via PackersWire. โ€œThe biggest thing for me was staying poised in the pocket, just staying balanced in the pocket. Sometimes I get out of whack with my feet and I might start drifting in the pocket a little too much. Just pocket awareness, making smaller moves, understanding when I might need to get out of there.โ€

Love explained he wants to make โ€œsmaller movementsโ€ when navigating the pocket. 

โ€œJust pocket movement, making smaller movements,โ€ Love said.
