Caleb Williams NFL Draft Rumors: QB Denies Cowherd Report, Expected to Go No. 1 to Bears
Cowherd's False Claim
Less than a day after Colin Cowherd made a startling claim on his show that Caleb Williams and his camp "do not want to go to Chicago," the quarterback has vehemently denied the report. According to Cowherd, he had spoken to sources close to Williams and learned that the highly touted prospect was hesitant about the idea of playing for the Bears.
Williams' Denial
Taking to social media, Williams quickly refuted Cowherd's assertions. He tweeted, "This is not true. I am open to all teams and have not ruled out any options. Thank you for all the support, and I appreciate the interest in my future."
Bears' Pursuit
Despite Williams' denial, the Bears remain heavily interested in drafting the Oklahoma quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick. Chicago general manager Ryan Poles has made it clear that Williams is their top target, and they have been scouting him extensively throughout the pre-draft process.
Cowherd's report has been met with widespread skepticism, given his history of making controversial and unfounded claims. ESPN's Adam Schefter also weighed in on the matter, stating that his sources have not heard any indication that Williams is not interested in playing for the Bears.
With the NFL Draft set for Thursday, April 27, it remains to be seen where Williams will end up. However, his denial of Cowherd's report suggests that the Bears should still be considered the frontrunner to land the highly coveted quarterback.
