Caleb Williams is just a few days away from becoming the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. And as he prepares to join the Chicago Bears and enter the NFL, another former No. 1 overall pick has a message for him.
During a recent appearance on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast with Shannon Sharpe, Cam Newton shared some advice for Caleb Williams as he enters the league.
“Just be you,” Newton said according to On3. “We don’t need no more Cam Newtons. We don’t need no more Peyton Mannings or Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady. Need unique players being themselves And I got news for you. Gen Z is here, and Gen Z is here to stay. So, whatever you may think, that, ‘Oh that ain’t football dude got pink nails,’ but I guarantee you if he paint his nails pink, even dye his hair pink, if they win football games ain’t nobody gonna worry about that. Let’s keep the main thing the main thing. Don’t you worry about fashion.”
Williams will obviously have a lot of hype and expectations as he takes over as the starting quarterback for the Bears. We’ll have to see how he handles it.
