As a fellow USC Trojan, Detroit Lions star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown wants nothing but success for the NFL Draft's expected first overall pick, Caleb Williams. 

Except for when St. Brown he plays against Williams. 

And the two may face each other twice a year in the NFC North if, as expected, the Chicago Bears make Williams the top pick Thursday night.

"I mean, I’m not going to like him when we’re playing the Bears," St. Brown told Fox News Digital ahead of a meet-and-greet with members of Selfridge Air National Guard Base just outside Detroit in collaboration with USAA. "But, other than that, I’m a fan."

All signs point to the Bears taking Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner at USC, with their first overall selection Thursday night. 

St. Brown reportedly signed a four-year extension with the Lions, tying him with Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill as the highest-paid receiver in the NFL at $30 million per season.

"He’s an awesome dude," St. Brown said. "Great guy, great family. His parents did an amazing job. So, I’m excited for him no matter where he goes, even if it’s the Chicago Bears."
