The USC Trojans’ prized jewel is heading to Chicago after months of speculations. With several theories claiming that Williams didn’t want to be drafted by the Bears or the team did not want the 2022 Heisman winner, it all comes to rest now that the QB is ready to begin his pro football career.

Caleb Williams, the former quarterback for the USC Trojans, has been drafted at the No. 1 position due to his exceptional records in the 2023 season. Williams has already been termed Patrick Mahomes 2.0,” which sets the undertone of what the fans can expect from him as he prepares to don the dark navy colors soon. Williams expresses his gratitude for the Bears’ GM, Ryan Poles, in the most comical way possible.

After a long, strenuous period of several months, the expectations of the mock drafts have finally come true, with Williams being drafted by none other than the Chicago Bears. The No. 1 pick of the Draft was taken to X to thank the general manager, Ryan Poles, and used one of his less flattering photos.

Williams’ tweet had five iconic words. The fans were amazed to see Williams returning the viral photo of Poles, which had the entire internet in splits when it first came out. Now that the Trojans’ QB is ready to start his generational run in the NFL, Poles will be his stepping stone to a legacy, which, according to Williams, is all about breaking Tom Brady’s records. With all that said, here’s a look at the moment when Williams was brought to tears by his mother in an emotional interaction.

Dayne Price said, “I love the way you have moved through life. Around 10 having a vision, wanting something for yourself and us being here today — your vision was you wanted to be an NFL player and here we are.

Williams responded to his mother’s video by saying, “I remember the times when I made the decision that this was going to be what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. There were some tough mornings and evenings and she was always — I let out a few tears because there were days I didn’t want to do it, days I didn’t want to get up and she’s just been there to support me, been there for me.
