When the Bears make USC quarterback Caleb Williams the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, they will receive a player who hopes to make Chicago his home for decades and create an all-time great legacy.
Williams said on The Pivot podcast that he hopes to do what Tom Brady did: play for the team that drafted him for 20 years and win lots of championships. Williams also said everything he knows about Chicago tells him it’s the right place for him.
“I want to play in a place for 20 years and chase a guy, number 12. I want a place that loves ball. That’s all I’ve heard about Chicago so far,” Williams said.
Williams also said his phone blew up when the Bears traded Justin Fields, which eliminated any doubt that the Bears are going all-in on Williams as their franchise quarterback. Now Williams wants Chicago to see that he is committed to turning the Bears into winners.
