With the Chicago Bears enjoying the first pick for the 2024 Draft, rumors have surrounded their interest in top quarterback prospects from the current class. At the same time, they have the talents of incumbent Justin Fields. He may be on his way out from the franchise if they choose to draft someone in the first round.

According to reports, the USC Trojans QB Caleb Williams has been massively linked with the side. Drake Maye has also posed to be a strong candidate for the spot; Williams’ recent shocking images have confirmed his interest in the Bears and vice-versa. We look into the recent developments behind the most exciting story surrounding the current Draft.

Caleb Williams hints at moving to Chicago

Caleb Williams has constantly been making the headlines as one of the hottest commodities in the current football landscape. After completing a successful season with the Trojans, he has often been dubbed as one of the best QBs in the current college football era. Like any other player, he is also foreseeing his future as he has been spotted with the Chicago Bears Quarterback Coach, Kerry Joseph. Joseph is known as a coach who sets high standards and his philosophy is summarized in three letters: ‘DTA,’ which means Decision, Timing, and Accuracy. Joseph has also expressed further qualities he wants from his QB: “You got to have confidence, and I like to say arrogance, but arrogance to me, all it’s is confidence under control.” Williams’s absence from the combine makes his links to these comments interesting.

Williams had also expressed his excitement about joining the Bears earlier, terming his respect for the franchise and its philosophy. Williams is known for possessing these qualities, as his arm strength and accuracy were evident throughout the 2023 season. He has completed almost 70% of the passes he made during his college career, making him a top prospect. His decision-making and intelligence also make him a stronger future player than Fields.
