Caleb Williams is shaking up more than just the NFL Draft buzz—he’s bringing his own flair to the game. Set to be the next Chicago star, Williams’ making waves with his bold style and Heisman-winning moves. From painted nails to standout plays, he’s unapologetically himself. And not everyone’s sure how to handle it, though. 

But is his swag really what’s getting people heated, or is it something much bigger than that? One thing’s certain: this QB ain’t just rewriting playbooks—he’s flipping the script.

Why is Caleb Williams fascinated with pink?

“It started, I would say, three years ago,” Caleb Williams asserted, casually explaining why he’s been rocking painted nails since high school. “My mom does nails… let’s just start it off there.” What started as a simple nod to his mom’s profession quickly became his signature look. Now, it’s pink polish on the field and off, with Williams unapologetically flaunting his style.

But it’s not just his nails. The Bears’ rookie QB was spotted at a USC women’s basketball game rocking a pink wallet, phone, and even a touch of pink on his lips. Talk about commitment to the color!

And it’s not just RGIII. Colin Cowherd didn’t hesitate to back him up either, pointing out that teams (and fans) care more about his arm than his nail color. He’s right—if the 22-year-old balls out in the NFL like he did at USC, no one’s going to be talking about his nails.

At the end of the day, Williams is in the spotlight for more than just his look. As the No. 1 pick for the Bears, the real focus will be on his game. If he turns around a franchise that’s been starved for QB talent, those pink nails might just become part of his legend. But hey, the critics aren’t slowing down anytime soon.

Critics question the Bears’ rookie QB’s leadership

“Nobody’s going to respect him.” That’s the latest hot take on Caleb Williams, and it’s not just about his pink phone case. The former USC QB’s facing some heat from critics like John Matrixx.

On the Black and White Sports podcast, Matrixx presented a different angle. The bigger issue? Respect in the locker room. “I don’t want you leading me on the field… nobody’s going to respect him in that locker room,” the podcast host added, suggesting that Williams’ choices could impact his ability to lead an NFL team. If the reports are to be believed, he is the leader in the locker room. 

With Williams’ draft stock soaring, this kind of scrutiny’s inevitable. But whether his off-field style affects his on-field leadership’s something only time (and a few NFL seasons) will tell. For now, the debate rages on.
