For a football team that has not had a true franchise quarterback since at least Jim McMahon and possibly the entirety of the Super Bowl era, drafting Williams is a beacon of hope. Only time will tell if Williams will live up to the billing of the number one quarterback is this quarterback-heavy class, but it is a good sign that he was the consensus number one passer and pick in this class.
The other good sign for Williams, the Bears, and Bears fans is that Williams has been put in a position to succeed. While many first overall picks are immediately heading to teams with a lot of issues on the roster, the Bears have some good players around Williams. This begins with the loaded wide receiver room, with D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen and fellow Bears first-round pick Rome Odunze. Williams is already surrounded by weapons, which will hopefully ease his transition into the NFL.
All in all, it's not surprising to see Bears fans rush out to get jerseys of the player who could very well change the fortunes of this franchise. If Williams succeeds in the NFL, this support will only continue to follow him in Chicago.USC Collective House of Victory Tips Off NIL Campaign for Women's Basketball
