Caleb Williams Shows Off Arm at USC Pro Day in Front of Keenan Allen, Bears Personnel | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
David Craig If there was any doubt that star quarterback Caleb Williams would be the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, it has been put to rest after his stellar showing at USC's Pro Day on Wednesday.
Williams put on a show in front of league scouts and personnel, including a strong contingent from the Chicago Bears, who hold the top pick. In addition to general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus being in attendance, newly acquired veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen also showed up to watch his likely next quarterback show his skills.
The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner displayed impressive arm strength and accuracy, making things look effortless at times. He made throws that should have Bears fans excited about the prospect of him being their franchise quarterback.
Social media was ignited with reactions from fans who were blown away by Williams' Pro Day performance:

Williams is a rare talent who some consider to be a generational prospect. B/R's NFL Scouting Department predicted in its latest mock draft that the Bears, who acquired the No. 1 pick from the Carolina Panthers, would not pass up on the opportunity to select him.
After accounting for 93 total touchdowns (72 passing, 21 rushing) over the last two seasons at USC, it's clear that Williams is ready for the challenge of playing at the professional level.
The Bears will be getting a future superstar when they fulfill predictions of picking Williams No. 1 overall.
