The top two picks from the 2024 NFL Draft could potentially face off in the NFL for the first time this week.
Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears will visit Jayden Daniels' Washington Commanders in a matchup that's only grown in anticipation since the two quarterbacks heard their names called in April.
The Bears took Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, with the top pick in the 2024 draft. He has found his footing after a rocky start and is playing his best football as a pro thus far, most recently tossing four touchdown passes in a convincing win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
Daniel, meanwhile, has taken the league by storm and brought a whole new energy to Washington. The 2023 Heisman winner, who was selected right behind Williams at No. 2 overall, has the Commanders at 5-2 through seven weeks, already exceeding the team's win total from last season.
An injury could keep Daniels out of the Commanders' matchup with Williams and the Bears, though. Daniels hurt his ribs early in Washington's blowout victory over the Carolina Panthers and is "week-to-week," per head coach Dan Quinn. While the injury is not considered long-term, it could keep him sidelined for Week 8.
