USC quarterback Caleb Williams, who likely will join the Bears next week as the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, aims to exceed what Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud did as a rookie last season and eventually surpass Tom Brady’s seven Super Bowl rings.

In an episode of The Pivot released Friday, Williams made clear he’s not watering down expectations for his rookie season.

“I want to do better [than Stroud],” he said. “That’s my thing. If the plan is for the Bears to draft me, the plan is to go as far as you can possibly go — all the way to February.
