The Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams had a standout season in 2024, amassing 3,541 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and only six interceptions. Williams set a new team record for the most consecutive attempts without an interception, and his passing yardage ranks fifth in franchise history. His performance solidifies his status as the No. 1 overall pick.

However, not just Williams shone; punter Tory Taylor, drafted in the fourth round, also made headlines by setting records for net and gross punting averages in his rookie year. Despite initial skepticism about selecting a punter so early, Taylor's skill at flipping field position proved invaluable for the Bears, helping them stay competitive throughout the season.
