Chicago Bears: new wide receiver Kalif Raymond says Caleb Williams has “ice in veins”
The Chicago Bears wide receiving room is going to look a little different in 2026 compared to 2025. Earlier this off-season, Chicago traded DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills for a second round pick, which will open up more opportunities for their younger pass catchers. In an effort to add depth, though, they also signed free agent wide receiver Kalif Raymond.
Of course, Raymond got to see Bears quarterback Caleb Williams up close and personal plenty of times over the last few years while he played for the Detroit Lions. After just a few practices in Chicago’s off-season program, though, he has a newfound appreciation for his new quarterback.

Raymond, of course, has some experience playing with elite quarterbacks. A two-time Second Team All-Pro as a kick return specialist, he spent the last few years in Detroit catching passes from Jared Goff. He also, on that note, has plenty of experience in Ben Johnson’s offensive scheme.
After mandatory mini camp concluded, Raymond joined the NFL Network for an interview, and was asked about his new high-profile quarterback:

“I love his job, man. So, it’s the last minute of practice, right? And we’re running a two-minute [drill]. And I don’t think we have another one going up, and he’s itching. He’s like, ‘Just me back out there.’ He’s talking to himself! ‘Just let me back out there.’
“And I’m thinking to myself, ‘Oh man, this guy has some ice in his veins!’ I mean, it’s two-minute OTA’s and he’s itching to get back out!
“But man, he’s been incredible to watch so far, making some throws I don’t think I could close my eyes and dream he could make them look that good.”
This is the kind of personality Williams put on display last year when leading the Bears to so many come-from-behind wins, including an incredible comeback in the NFL Playoffs against the Green Bay Packers.
The description of his throws is also encouraging as Williams and Johnson have both said a key focus this off-season is on improving the completion percentage. If he is making throws so accurate they are better than Raymond’s dreams, the Bears are in for a very fun season.
