Originally posted on On Tap Sports Net | By Pat Boadway | Last updated 4/12/24

In less than two weeks, the Chicago Bears will select their future franchise quarterback. Caleb Williams has been prophesied to be the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft for some time now and it's confirmed he'll be in attendance on April 25.

This will mark the first time in over five years that the Bears' first-round selection will be there in person to don the navy and orange.

The last time the Chicago Bears had a first-round pick who showed up to the draft in person was in 2018. Roger Goodell called Roquan Smith's name and the stud linebacker accepted the Chicago jersey and hat.

Caleb Williams, along with 12 other draft prospects, will attend the NFL Draft in Detroit at the end of April. When the commissioner calls his name before anyone else's, as expected, the 22-year-old product out of USC will accept his new colors and show them off for the first time.

As the draft quickly approaches, fans can get ready to accept the Bears' new future while current players are already welcoming Williams to Chicago with sound pieces of advice.
