Caleb Williams has long been projected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft.

INDIANAPOLIS — USC quarterback Caleb Williams said Friday he's undaunted by the Bears' long track record of problems at the position as they consider drafting him with the No. 1 overall pick.

"I'm my own player," he said. "And I like to rewrite history."

Williams established himself as the favorite to go No. 1 in the draft with his spectacular 2022 season. He threw 42 touchdown passes and just five interceptions on his way to winning the Heisman Trophy.
