Everything is set for the 2024 NFL Draft. The Chicago Bears currently hold the first overall pick, and now Caleb Williams, a potential candidate for the NFC North team, has shared his thoughts on the possibility of playing for The Monsters of the Midway.

There has been a lot of anticipation surrounding the Bears recently. Despite having an outstanding roster, the team has been unable to succeed, and everyone points to Justin Fields as the main culprit of these failures.

In 2021, the Bears decided to use their 11th overall pick to select Justin Fields. He arrived in Chicago with high expectations, but circumstances have prevented him from showcasing his skills as he would have wanted to so far.

For many analysts and scouts, Caleb Williams should be selected with the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. However, there’s a huge dilemma: the Bears currently have a first-round quarterback as starter.

Justin Fields has only been in the league for three years, but he’s facing significant criticism for his inability to lead the Bears to success. As a first-round pick, all hopes rely on him, especially as the starting quarterback of the club.

Unfortunately, it seems like his time with the Bears has come to an end. With the NFC North franchise holding the first overall pick this year, they have a great opportunity to draft what is regarded as one of the best QB prospects in recent years: Caleb Williams.

The Bears have historically struggled with quarterbacks. Scouts believe that Williams could be the savior of any franchise, and that’s why everybody thinks that Chicago can’t afford to miss the opportunity of having a potential future Hall of Famer in their roster.

“If I get drafted by the Bears, I’ll be excited,” Williams told ESPN. “If they trade the pick, and I get drafted by someone else, I’m just as excited. Speaking about Chicago, they have a talented team, a talented offense and defense. For anyone to be in that situation, I think they’d be excited.

“I’m not pushing any agenda. At the end of the day, the Bears have the last say. Regardless of how I feel, I’m not pushing an agenda of, ‘Yeah, I want to go. Or no, I don’t want to go.’ I’m excited for whatever comes.”
