USC Football: Latest NFL Mock Draft Reveals Where Caleb Williams Lands
One of the biggest stories of the upcoming NFL Draft is where former USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams will be selected. Williams declared for the draft weeks ago and is projected to be one of the first players taken off the board.
At the top of the draft sits multiple teams that could use a franchise quarterback, so Williams likely doesn't make it past the third pick. But many believe he will indeed be the first overall selection.
The Chicago Bears currently hold the first overall pick, but there has been talk about them potentially moving the pick. Quarterback-hungry teams will likely pay premium prices to get their hands on a talent like Williams, so the Bears are currently weighing their options.
NFL.com's Draft Media Analyst Daniel Jeremiah put out his latest mock draft, putting Williams in a similar spot. He has the former Trojans quarterback heading to Chicago, as the Bears take him with the first overall pick.
"There will be a lot of debate about what the Bears should do with this pick leading up to the draft, but I still think Williams makes the most sense for them here."
If the Bears do select Williams, they will then have to find a trade for current starter Justin Fields. The debate between Williams and Fields could go miles long, but many believe Williams helps elevate the Bears forward more than Fields.
He is a transformative talent, and whoever drafts him could be getting their franchise guy for years. The former Heisman Trophy winner has all the tools to be successful, which is why many are very high on his overall potential.
Williams may have a preference in where he goes, but if he does land with Chicago, it wouldn't take much to win the fans over. The Bears haven't won much in recent times, so if Williams even turned them into consistent playoff contenders, he would be a hero in the city.
