Fans were all making the same joke about the new Caleb Williams mural that’s been painted in Chicago.
Williams, the first overall pick of this year’s NFL Draft, will have the weight of the world on his shoulders after replacing Justin Fields as the Bears new QB. But it appears the city has embraced him, as he’s already gotten a mural before playing a single snap.

While a nice touch, the artwork has drawn some jokes from fans online, with many claiming it’s a bit feminine.

Of course, the jokes are partly due to Caleb’s proclivity for painting his nails.
He also trended for attending a women’s basketball game wearing pink lipstick and pink nails during the NCAA Tournament earlier this year.
Caleb Williams Had Some Rough OTAs
Meanwhile, Williams hasn’t gotten off to the beast start with the Bears, as he had some rough OTAs last month. While it’s way too early for panic, there is some concern among fans.
Veteran safety Kevin Byard has revealed the words of encouragement he shared with his rookie following his struggles in practice.
“I said something to him at the end of practice: Keep going, we’re gonna keep making you better,” Byard said, per NBC Sports Chicago.
“Not necessarily saying that he had a terrible day, but like days like this are gonna make you better. So that’s our job, and like I said, obviously, just the first three days of practice, he’s done a lot of positive things. He’s made some really great throws. Just coming in with that swag as a rookie quarterback, he doesn’t seem flustered by anything, so that’s exciting to see.”
Caleb Williams will hope he can live up to the hype ahead of his first season in the NFL. He just might get a statue in Chicago if he does.
