WATCH: Caleb Williams Isn't Afraid to Be a Lead Blocker

The presumed No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft isn't above throwing a downfield block for his teammates.

We all know that USC's Caleb Williams is a wizard with the ball in his hands, able to make highlight-reel moments happen any time he takes the snap behind center.

But he's also not afraid to get his hands dirty as a blocker when necessary.

Williams, who is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft to the Chicago Bears, retweeted a video of him chasing multiple defenders downfield in advance of a teammate running the ball, showcasing his effort and willingness to do whatever it takes for his team, even throwing a few blocks if needed:

Now that it's all but confirmed that Williams will be the pick at No. 1 for the Bears, following this week's trade of Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago fans can focus their energies on simply being excited that Williams is going to be their new franchise quarterback.
