The Chicago Bears have the first overall pick in the upcoming draft. And according to Breer, they have locked in their target. “I think it’s 99% Caleb Williams is a Bear now. I think that’s been the case for a few weeks”, said Breer on NBC Sports Boston.

“With that situation that’s set in stone and the more I’ve started to ask around the more it seems like Jaden Daniels is probably the leader in the clubhouse to be a Commander”, said Breer. He refers to the 23-year-old Daniels as the leader in the clubhouse since the experienced reporter considers him to be the Commander’s first overall pick.

Several pundits expected Drake Maye to be the choice for the Commanders for several weeks. However, with this report, the Commanders have set their eyes on Daniels. They recently met with the LSU graduate at the 2024 NFL Combine and have impressed the young QB.

The Commanders were led by a newly hired head coach Dan Quin accompanied by offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. The duo has left a positive impression on Daniels. “It was how cool the staff was”, said Daniels to the press after the meeting. “Dan Quinn, Kliff Kingsbury, all those types of guys (and) just being able to sit in there and really just get to know people”, said Daniels.
