In the Bears’ 104-year history, no quarterback has ever thrown over 4,000 yards in a single season. However, Williams could be poised to change this narrative if he is selected as the first overall pick in the upcoming draft. William’s football journey began at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, making his father, Carl, prefer DC over Chicago. Williams showcased exceptional leadership skills after being a varsity starter for three years. He won the WCAC championship while garnering recognition as a two-time first-team Metro player. His breakthrough season also saw him win the Washington DC Gatorade Football Player of the Year award. He amassed over 6,500 yards through the ground and in the air, completing 73 touchdowns during his remarkable high school career.
Despite USC facing significant challenges since Reggie Bush’s Heisman Trophy win in 2005, Williams threw over 3,600 yards and accounted for 41 total touchdowns during the 2023 season with the Trojans. He amassed over 10,000 passing yards and 120 total touchdowns throughout his college career, crediting to his exceptional playmaking ability, off-script improvisation, strong arm talent, and precision. He has emerged as the unanimous top pick for the upcoming draft as speculation rises over which team will be the first to secure his services. Williams’ undeniable skills and track record make him a compelling prospect for any franchise needing a dynamic quarterback. Who do you think will bask up the opportunity to sign Williams?
