The Caleb Williams NFL draft rumors are beginning to heat up.
With Russell Wilson out at Denver, it appears that the Broncos may be interested in taking a look at Williams.
According to a report from NFL Insider Tony Pauline, the Broncos and Sean Payton are interested in trading up for Williams.

Payton wants one of the top passers- Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, or Jayden Daniels. I spoke at length about this with several people including longtime Denver Broncos insider Cecil Lammey, a radio and television personality from the city as well as a writer at DenverSports.com.
I was able to confirm the Broncos are interested in moving up for their quarterback of the future yet such a move would come at an enormous cost and it’s very unlikely to happen.
Pauline goes on to report that Broncos would likely have to part ways with Patrick Surtain Jr. for a chance to trade for Williams.
The Denver Broncos would surely include cornerback Patrick Surtain. I’m told while the franchise doesn’t want to trade Surtain, they would consider moving the corner only as a last result to secure one of the top passers.
The Bears, who hold the #1 pick, are currently interviewing offensive coordinators about the opportunity to coach Williams next seasons which indicates they may not trade him in the draft.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Williams, but as of now, it appears that the Bears will take him #1 overall.
