Bears select Williams 1st Overall


 

The Chicago Bears selected USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Williams has been locked into the No. 1 spot for the entire draft process. Chicago cleared the path for his arrival by trading 2021 first-rounder Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers in mid-March.

After transferring from Oklahoma, Williams solidified himself as a potential future No. 1 selection when he won the Heisman Trophy in his first season with the Trojans in 2022. Williams finished with 4,537 yards and 42 touchdowns against five interceptions in 14 appearances.
