The Chicago Bears<\/a> did what was expected of them, taking USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For months, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner has been pegged to the Bears. It moved to a mortal lock when Justin Fields<\/a>, the team’s previous first-round pick in 2021, was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, with the pick officially in, a new face of the franchise enters the “Windy City,” and Williams has the pedigree to turn the tides of the organization.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Coming out of Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C. as a five-star recruit, Williams college career began at Oklahoma in 2021, where he threw for 1,912 yards with 21 touchdowns to four interceptions over 11 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Lincoln Riley took over as the Trojans\u2019 head coach<\/a> in 2022, Williams followed him out to Southern California and his production skyrocketed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Williams would throw for 4,537 yards with 42 touchdowns to five interceptions and a 66.6% completion rate during his Heisman season. He capped his incredible campaign with a bowl win over Tulane, where he threw for 462 yards with five touchdowns.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Trojans and Williams didn\u2019t see the same success in 2023, as he threw for 3,633 yards with 30 touchdowns to five interceptions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

USC lost its final three games of the season, and Williams infamously cried with his mom in the stands on Nov. 4, 2023 following a loss to Washington, where he had three touchdowns and 312 yards passing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Williams caught a ton of flak for that, but Williams didn\u2019t believe it was a sign of weakness, but rather a testament to his want to win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I was sitting over there, beat up, I was defeated,” he recalled in the moment. “But then I hopped up, and I touched my mom, and I just lost it.”<\/p>\n

Williams was projected to at least be a top three pick in the draft, and he declared following a loss to UCLA to end the Trojans\u2019 season. Ca<\/p>\n

Williams has everything he needs in Chicago, and fans are hoping there\u2019s more wins in the future with him at quarterback.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bears have won just 16 games over the past three seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
