Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams voted the most stylish footballer of the year, despite getting trolled for painting his nails

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams took GQ's fan vote for the Most Stylish Football Player Monday, securing his first NFL accolade since being drafted by the league as its No. 1 overall pick in April. GQ Sports' Instagram page hosted a bracket-style competition for the most stylish NFL player, with fans voting on each head-to-head matchup. The former Heisman trophy-winner's sense of fashion has been on display since his college days at the University of Southern California.

Caleb Williams has been crowned GQ Sports' Most Stylish Football Player of the Year

Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has made huge waves in the fashion and style world, as he was crowned GQ Sports' Most Stylish Football Player of the Year by popular choice, despite making little impact on the football field. GQ Sports voted Williams the most stylish football player globally, beating off competitors such as Murray, Jefferson, and Diggs. Williams even made a debut in Custom H&M at the 2024 Met Gala.


The Chicago Bears quarterback drafted in the first overall pick in 2024 won over people's hearts for his on-field talent, but he was panned for his bold fashion choices. Never having a moment to regret, he remains unapologetic about his personal style, including nail painting and purse carrying, and has many fashion statements beyond these moments.

Williams has displayed a strong sense of self since his arrival at the NFL Draft in a striking custom Chrome Hearts suit. "Just be who you are and stay true to that,” he advised in an interview with GQ, a mantra that has clearly resonated with fans as they vote for him in large numbers.


Bears quarterback, Aaron Williams, expressed his desire to leave a lasting impact on both the fashion and football worlds, stating that he will not apologize for being his authentic self, even if some people don't like it, ahead of his draft selection in April 2024.

"It’s me. You call it unique. I call it me. And that’s kind of how I go about it. I paint my nails, I wear unique things… on and off the field and we’ll be able to showcase that here today and in the future here soon," Williams said.
