Caleb Williams Declares for NFL Draft

The College Football season ended last week with the Michigan Wolverines winning the National Championship over the Washington Huskies. With the college season ending, the focus will shift to who is declaring for the NFL Draft and who is returning to College for another season. Today, University of Southern California Caleb Williams, who is the number one prospect entering the draft and is expected to be the number one overall pick, declared today. Williams had reportedly come out with a list of teams that he wanted to play for; the Chicago Bears currently own the number one overall pick, and they weren’t on his list, and there was a rumor that he wasn’t going to declare if the Bears were going to take him if that’s the case then it would appear that Chicago is going to stick with Justin Fields so it’ll be interesting who ends up with Williams under center for them in 2024.
