In a move that surprised precisely no one, the Chicago Bears made Caleb Williams their top pick at No. 1 overall. Following their trade of Justin Fields in March, it was widely expected that the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner would become the cornerstone quarterback for the team’s future.
And indeed, that’s exactly what unfolded!
Williams, poised to join one of the NFL’s most dynamic offenses from Day 1, anticipated his selection with confidence. He incorporated the Bears’ iconic navy blue into his draft suit, radiating excitement as he crossed the stage to greet Roger Goodell.
Throughout the evening, the 22-year-old quarterback wore a constant smile, clearly moved by the emotional journey. He understands the weight of expectations in a city longing for a franchise quarterback, yet he embraces the opportunity to play in such a historic city with an ardent fanbase.
Shortly after his selection, Williams spoke with Bears reporter Lauren Screeden, revealing a custom, one-of-a-kind Chrome Hearts T-shirt paying homage to his new home. It seemed as though he had foreseen his destination all along!
The estimated value of Williams’ suit, along with his girlfriend’s dress, reaches a staggering $40,000 to $50,000. Their attire marked a historic moment, as Chrome Hearts had never outfitted an NFL Draft prospect prior to that Thursday night.
While Williams has no intentions of parting with his unique shirt, it undoubtedly holds immense value and would likely fetch a hefty sum on the secondary market, becoming a prized collectible for football enthusiasts.
