As expected, the\u00a0Chicago Bears have selected USC football star Caleb Williams\u00a0with the first overall pick in the 2024\u00a0NFL Draft. With the selection of Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy Award winner will be the face of the franchise as they look to get back to playing winning football.<\/p>\n

Williams spoke about\u00a0what convinced him\u00a0that the Bears were the team for him, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN:<\/p>\n

\u201cCaleb Williams on what he gleaned from the Bears in his top 30 visit: \u2018The biggest thing is that they want to win. That was the biggest and most important thing. That was really it. That\u2019s really what it came down to. That aligns with me. I want to be around people who want to win.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams also spoke about dealing with the pressure of being the new face of the Bears franchise. His answer was full of confidence:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Said Williams, \u201cI don\u2019t think of it that way. That may be the narrative. For me, I go out there, I handle my job, I be a great teammate first and foremost. I handle business on and off the field. And then, I go to work. I enjoy what I do, I love what I do. I\u2019m in there with my guys and they see how hard I work \u2013 their guy, their QB \u2013 and we go get it. We win games together, and that\u2019s the biggest thing \u2013 winning games together. Because I can\u2019t win games by myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the addition of Williams as their new franchise quarterback, there is now legitimate reason to believe that brighter days may be ahead in The Windy City. In fact, a whole bunch of winning seasons may be ahead, and potentially even the franchise\u2019s first Super Bowl title since the \u201985 Bears may indeed be ahead.<\/p>\n

This year, USC\u00a0appeared to be the epicenter of college sports with top NFL Draft pick\u00a0Williams, standout guard\u00a0Bronny James, and women\u2019s hoops superstar\u00a0JuJu Watkins all on the same campus in Southern California.<\/p>\n

Williams recently spoke about\u00a0what it was like\u00a0to share the campus with the two other superstar athletes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s cool, it\u2019s cool, it really is, just because a big reason on why I came to USC is for that reason, it\u2019s not to be with them, it\u2019s because there\u2019s people like that on campus. You know when you go to Alabama, and Kudos to them, but when you go to Alabama, when you go to Oklahoma, when you go to schools like that, they\u2019re small towns and then you don\u2019t get to go to a restaurant. I mean I would go to restaurants in Oklahoma, and it\u2019s cool I\u2019m always nice, polite, respective, but everybody, when you know you just want to throw on some sweats and go to a restaurant and stuff like that, you just want to throw on some sweats and go to a restaurant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now Williams, and all of his star power, heads to Chicago to hopefully lead the Bears into a new era.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
