Caleb Williams Wants to 'Chase' Tom Brady's Legacy amid 2024 NFL Draft, Bears Rumors

Caleb Williams is gearing up to begin his NFL career, and he, like many other quarterbacks, wants to follow in the footsteps of the GOAT.

In an appearance on The Pivot on Friday, Williams said he wants to "chase" Tom Brady's legacy.

"I want to play in one place for 20 years and chase one guy, No. 12," Williams said (2 minute mark). "I want a place that loves ball. That's all I've heard about Chicago so far."

Reaching the same heights as Brady would be a tall task, but Williams certainly has the chance to have an outstanding NFL career.

In his final season at USC, Williams had 3,633 passing yards, 30 touchdowns and five interceptions. In his Heisman Trophy-winning 2022 season, he had 4,537 passing yards, 42 touchdowns and five interceptions.

Bleacher Report's Scouting Department considers Williams to be the No. 4 overall prospect and the No. 2 quarterback in this year's draft class. He is expected to be drafted by the Chicago Bears with the top pick in next week's NFL draft.

Given the hype leading up to the draft, Williams will have high expectations in his first NFL season, but he's played at an extremely high level the past two seasons and is looking to translate his collegiate success to the pro level.

He is setting high expectations for his career by chasing Brady, but that could be the mindset he needs.
