The Chicago Bears made history in round one of the NFL Draft , simply by selecting Caleb Williams with the first overall pick. This selection set off a chain reaction. Williams jersey sales broke records not only within the NFL but also across major sports. According to reports, merchandise featuring Williams, like jerseys and other apparel set the record for draft night sales value in any sport. Williams, already a superstar at USC, is poised to elevate his superstar status even further with his move to Chicago, one of the largest sports markets in the world. He showed his appreciation for the support from Chicago fans with a grateful quote tweet on Twitter (now X).
“That’s Chicago for ya!!!”
Caleb Williams will wear number 18 in Chicago, just like he did in high school.
