Chicago Bears linked to Caleb Williams’ WR teammate at USC in draft
The Chicago Bears are expected to use their first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on a position in the trenches.

The Bears could go with a left tackle to fortify the position as there is uncertainty about Ozzy Trapilo’s return from a patellar tendon injury. Chicago also needs help at pass-rusher, whether that comes in the form of a defensive tackle or defensive end.
In later rounds of the draft, the Bears should be looking at taking a wide receiver. Chicago traded away DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills to clear cap space. Olamide Zaccheus left for the Atlanta Falcons in free agency.
Chad Reuter of NFL Media recently projected the Bears to take a wide receiver with their No. 129. He identified USC wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane as Chicago’s pick in the fourth round.
Lane was a freshman when Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was in his final season with USC. Lane recorded seven receptions for 93 yards and two touchdowns that season.

While Lane played a minor role for USC in 2023, he became a much more important part of head coach Lincoln Riley’s offense in 2024 and 2025. Lane’s best season came in 2025, when he caught 49 passes for 745 yards and four touchdowns. He caught 12 touchdowns in 2024.
Lane is a six-foot-four, 200-pound athlete from Mesa, Arizona.
It would be interesting to see if the Bears would want to give Williams a former teammate at USC to target in the upcoming season. Williams would have chemistry with the young receiver.
Chicago is building a young core of pass catchers for Williams, with Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, and tight end Colston Loveland all taken in the previous two drafts. Adding Lane would give the Bears another core receiver at the position as they build around the No. 1 pick from the 2024 draft.
