Caleb Williams is No.1 in more ways than, well, one.

Thursday, the newly minted Bears quarterback broke the Fanatics record for most athlete merchandise sold on any draft night in any sport. That includes former Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark, who was drafted by the WNBA’s Indiana Fever earlier this month.

Williams will wear jersey No. 18, the same he wore at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C.

“I won a championship in it,” Williams said Thursday night.

Keenan Allen, the six-time Pro Bowl receiver for whom the Bears traded last month, is expected to keep the No.
