Caleb Williams officially announced he is forgoing his senior season at USC and will enter the 2024 NFL Draft.
Oddsmakers are all over the talented quarterback to go No. 1 overall, as FanDuel Sportsbook installs Williams as a -850 favorite (89.47 percent implied).
It is widely expected that Trojans quarterback goes No.1 overall, a pick currently held by the Chicago Bears.
Whether he is actually selected by the Bears is unknown. Bears General Manager Ryan Poles noted that current quarterback Justin Fields improved in the 2023 season and that he can lead the Bears.
But he did note that this is an extenuating circumstance, with the team owning the No. 1 overall pick after last year’s trade with the Panthers.
“At the same time, there’s a unique situation, and we have to look at everything,” Poles said, according to Albert Breer.
Below are the complete 2024 NFL Draft odds to go No.1 overall.
It is possible the Bears elect to go with Williams as their quarterback going forward and look to move Fields for more draft capital.
Chicago also holds the No. 9 overall pick, which could be an intriguing piece of the 2024 NFL Draft decision.
