The Chicago Bears are expected by nearly everyone to select USC product Caleb Williams with their No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. And with that in mind, one Bears star made his intentions public on Wednesday, showing up for Williams’ Pro Day on Wednesday.
The Chicago Bears made a huge move earlier this month to help sure up their offense for whoever plays quarterback in Chicago, trading a fourth-round pick for six-time Pro Bowl wideout Keenan Allen.
Allen hasn’t wasted any time becoming a leader in the Bears locker room, attending Williams’ Pro Day in Bears gear. The two shared an embrace before Williams took to the field.

I’m sure these two are going to connect a lot more with the Chicago Bears this season.

If you needed any more proof that Williams is set to become a Bear in the upcoming draft, now you have it. Fans are entirely sold about this sentiment after this interaction between Allen and Williams.

When it came to Williams’ actual performance on the field, he showed out as expected. He showed off his supreme arm talent that has been widely documented throughout the pre-draft process, most notably with a 75-yard deep bomb right on the money to USC wide receiver Brenden Rice.

It sure seems like the Bears’ future is set to be a bright one. Not only will the Bears have the chance to draft Williams at No. 1. But they also have another top-10 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to further add to their talent already on the roster.
