NFL scouts, GMs, and coaches from across the country — including Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus — made their way over to USC on Wednesday, with many coming to see star Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams throw. All 32 teams were in attendance for USC's Pro Day, and Williams was naturally the talk of the day.
Williams opted not to throw earlier this offseason at the NFL Scouting Combine and instead announced he would throw at his Pro Day. Naturally, this decision attracted a large crowd, with this being the prime opportunity for NFL scouts and front office staff to get a closer
Here are some clips of how Williams fared throwing at the Pro Day:

Though Williams missed a couple of throws, he still put in a good showing at his Pro Day. Williams showed accuracy on several throws both short and deeper down the field. While the Pro Day throws didn't show off everything he can do, particularly unscripted and improvised play, they did showcase his arm talent and poise with almost all the attention on him.
Williams heads into the NFL Draft as the projected No. 1 overall pick, after two great seasons with the USC Trojans. A Heisman Trophy winner and unanimous All-American, Williams has been one of the most standout prospects for over a year now.
