The Chicago Bears hold the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft but before ultimately deciding to return to school in 2023, projected top pick Caleb Williams had a different landing spot in mind.
In an interview with People.com, the Heisman Trophy winner already had an idea of where he’d like to start his NFL career. Telling the publication:
I like to be around younger coaches. I’d probably go to the Dolphins. I also would be able to play with Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Mike Gesicki. The defense isn’t bad. That’s probably my number one spot. … I also like the colors. The colors are pretty cool and the weather’s good.
Williams also added that “San Fran, Raiders or Falcons” are other places he would love to play but when it comes down to it he says “I’d play anywhere.”

The USC star has been the consensus No. 1 player on every draft board since he first showcased his talent at Oklahoma before transferring to the Trojans.
Williams finished his junior season completing 69% of his passes for 3,633 yards and 41 total touchdowns to just five interceptions in what was considered a “down” year for the D.C. native.
The Dolphins don’t pick until the 24th spot so it’s hard to imagine Caleb being in play for them unless they make a pretty big trade. But with Tua entering the final year of his rookie contract and questions about him being the guy… crazier things have happened.
