LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Caleb Williams has dealt with external pressure and scrutiny for years on his journey to become the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft. The former USC star quarterback was criticized for crying after the Trojans lost to Washington last season and for painting his nails.
But nothing will compare to pressure Williams is about to face in changing the perception around the Chicago Bears -- who last won a playoff game in 2010 -- after being drafted with the first overall pick Thursday.
Williams, however, isn't shying away from the enormous expectations that await him in the NFL.
