NFL Draft Rumors: Caleb Williams set to get personal key card to Bears building well before 2024 draft

Former USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams has been the consensus No. 1 pick since stepping onto the field last year. With the Chicago Bears holding that pick and trading away Justin Fields, Williams looks certain to be a Bear.

However, another little nugget of information indicates that Williams will be the newest member of the Chicago roster. Per The Chicago Tribune, Williams is set to have his own personal key card and locker stall in a bid to get him into the building to begin building relationships with the coaches and fellow players.

It's no secret that Chicago wants Williams and with the moves they have made, all signs point to the QB being selected by the Bears with the No. 1 overall pick.

What are the expectations for Caleb Williams in rookie season?

UCLA v USC

Last season with Justin Fields, the Bears had a 7-10 record, so one would imagine that is the baseline for Williams heading into 2024.

With the additions of Keenan Allen, D'Andre Swift, Gerald Everett, Dante Pettis, Coleman Shelton and Ryan Bates, Caleb Williams has more weapons than Fields did.

So, does that equate to more pressure on Williams to succeed in his first season? Possibly, but he has the weapons to take the pressure off him, and he won't need to play hero ball like he did for USC.

With Swift, Williams has a run game he can lean on. Having veteran targets in Allen, DJ Moore, Cole Kmet and Everett, to name a few, should also bode well for Williams.

Of course, nothing is given in the NFL, but the Bears have given Williams the best chance at succeeding in his first season in the big league.
