Ahead of his likely selection as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, USC quarterback Caleb Williams has reportedly been in conversations with the Chicago Bears.
According to NFL.com's Tom Pelissero, the Bears have kept in touch with Williams via video chat sessions since meeting with him in person a couple of weeks ago. Pelissero added that discussions between the two sides have been "very frank and positive."
All signs point toward the Bears taking Williams first overall after trading quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers, which means they could potentially hammer out a contract with him before the draft itself.
