Now that it’s official, Williams becomes the clear favorite to be the top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
On BetOnline, Williams is listed at -350 to be selected first. North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye has the next-best odds at +300.
The Chicago Bears own the first overall pick in the upcoming draft. Justin Fields is still Chicago’s quarterback. However, the team may trade Fields in the offseason and then select Williams.
Expect the Bears’ decision on Fields to come sometime in March or April.
