Caleb Williams’ painted nails steal spotlight in first game – NBC Chicago

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has drawn attention in the past for painting his fingernails prior to games, and he did just that ahead of the team’s opener against the Tennessee Titans.

Williams is facing his first career NFL start on Sunday, and he had a special message painted on his nails prior to the game:

“#18 DA BEARS” was the message he had prior to the game against the Tennessee Titans.

Needless to say, Williams is facing some significant expectations after being taken as the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. No Bears quarterback has ever thrown for 4,000 yards in a single season, and the team hasn’t won a playoff game since 2011, both of which Williams will be trying to achieve in his rookie season.

Kickoff between the Bears and Titans is set for noon on Fox.
