Caleb Williams college stats: Looking at USC star's averages ahead of 2024 NFL draft

The NFL draft is set to begin on Saturday, and Caleb Williams is expected to be the first overall pick.

Williams wrapped up a great college career between Oklahoma and USC. As a freshman, he went 136-for-211 for 1,912 yards, 21 touchdowns and four interceptions.

After his freshman season, Williams transferred to USC and had immediate success in his first season. Williams went 333-for-500 for 4,537 yards, 42 touchdowns and five interceptions, winning the Heisman that season.

This past season, Williams went 266-for-388 for 3,633 yards, 30 touchdowns and five interceptions.

Overall at college, Williams averaged 3,360.66 yards, 31 touchdowns and 4.66 interceptions.

Where will Caleb Williams be drafted?

Caleb Williams is projected to go first overall

All signs point to Caleb Williams hearing his name called by the Chicago Bears with the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

Williams has been the projected first overall pick even before the college football season started, as long as he declared for the draft.

The star USC quarterback has already met multiple times with the Chicago Bears, including having dinner with some star players on the Bears, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Schefter wrote on ESPN:

"When Caleb Williams visited Chicago in early April, the Bears did something smart. Rather than have Williams go to dinner with their front office and coaches, they sent him to dinner with team leaders Cole Kmet, DJ Moore, T.J. Edwards and others.

"The thinking was, those are some of the team’s most respected players, the players who others listen to, and this group then would be able to tell the other players what they were getting in Williams, who is likely to be the No. 1 overall pick."

Although the pick is not official, all signs indicate Williams will be selected first overall by the Chicago Bears.

Chicago can also build around Williams as the Bears hold the ninth overall pick, and they could select a wide receiver there to add another weapon to their offense.
