To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the Chicago Bears drafted Caleb Williams No. 1 overall. An organization that traded Justin Fields back in March was a lock to take the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner to be its quarterback of the future.
That is exactly what happened!
Williams, who will step into one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL on Day 1, was fully prepared for his name to be called first. He worked the Bears’ navy blue into his Draft suit and could not have been more pumped while walking across the stage to shake Roger Goodell’s hand.
The 22-year-old signal-caller was all smiles throughout the entire night. Emotions were high. Excitement was at the forefront.
Williams knows that Chicago has been waiting a long time for a franchise quarterback. He also loves the idea of playing in such a historic city with such a passionate fanbase and culture around the team. His new place of residence is somewhere that will embrace him with open arms, no matter how many people hate him from the outside. (As long as he wins!)
Not long after the pick was announced, Williams took the time to speak with Bears reporter Lauren Screeden. While doing so, he took off his suit jacket to unveil a custom, 1-of-1 Chrome Hearts T-shirt that shouts out his new city. It’s as if he knew where he was going to end up!
The estimated cost of Williams’ suit — and his girlfriend’s dress — hovers in the $40/50K range. They both made history! Chrome Hearts had never dressed an NFL Draft prospect prior to Thursday night.
That shirt is now a collector’s item and would likely sell for big bucks on the secondary market! Williams isn’t going to put it up for sale, but it would immediately become a pretty highly-coveted item of clothing.
