Caleb Williams Declares for 2024 NFL Draft Amid Speculation and Fan Reactions

Former USC Star Quarterback Could Be No. 1 Pick, But Some Fear Potential Impact on His Career

Caleb Williams, former USC Trojans star quarterback and 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, has declared for the 2024 NFL draft.
The Chicago Bears, who currently hold the top pick in the draft, are considering whether to trade their current quarterback, Justin Fields, and build their franchise around Williams.
Williams is widely projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, but some fans have expressed concern that the Bears might 'ruin' him.
Williams has not yet hired an NFL Players Association agent, instead opting for a unique management team, a move that has sparked interest and speculation.
Williams' decision to declare for the draft has prompted speculation about potential replacements for him at USC, including quarterbacks Austin Mack, Jordan McCloud, Taulia Tagovailoa, Jayden Maiava, and Will Rogers.
