NFL Draft excitement continues in Detroit
Caleb Williams is heading to the Windy City, aiming to become the franchise quarterback Chicago has sought for decades.
Five other teams selected quarterbacks among the top 12 picks, setting a record with five in the top 10 and tying a record for the most in the first round of the NFL Draft taking place in Detroit.
The Bears selected Williams at No. 1 overall in the NFL draft on Thursday night after deciding weeks ago to bank on the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner from USC.
The Washington Commanders followed up by taking 2023 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels from LSU and the New England Patriots took North Carolina’s Drake Maye at No. 3, making it the fourth draft with quarterbacks going with the first three picks.
Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold, was chosen by the Detroit Lions with the 24th overall pick during the first round of the draft.
