Why Caleb Williams Wore Nail Polish on His Fingers for 'Madden 27' Cover - Just Jared - Celebrity News and Gossip

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is the Madden 27 cover star, and many fans are noticing that he opted to have painted nails on the cover of the famed Deluxe Edition copy.

The 24-year-old former first round pick in the NFL draft spoke out about his decision to show off his painted nails for the cover. If you don’t know, Caleb often sports nail polish on his fingers.

Why did Caleb Williams paint his nails for the Madden NFL 27 cover, and what designs did he choose?

In an interview with Teen Vogue, Caleb explained his decision.

“I had a Chicago flag. I had the Chicago Bears’ “C.” In respects to the legend John Madden in EA Sports and as a coach, I had him painted on my nails. I had the NFL shield, the best organization and one of the most historic organizations.”

“I’ve been painting my nails for about six years now. It’s been a part of my career because I’ve always wanted to be true to myself. It was only right to do the shoot with my nails painted. It’s going to be online, in hard copy, in digital—right up in your face.”

He was also asked how being “unapologetically himself” has impacted him

“A couple of nights ago, when the [San Antonio] Spurs [made it to the NBA Finals], [Victor Wembanyama] was talking about being unapologetic about his emotions towards something that he loves so much—this thing that is bigger than himself. He’s put so much time, energy, and effort into reaching this point and being where he is.”

“It’s the same mindset I have. I care about myself so much in that way—mentally, physically, and spiritually—so I can be in the best position and be the best version of myself. That’s what being unapologetic means to me, and sometimes, it means doing some things that others don’t. I may enjoy some things that people haven’t seen in the sport or even in their lifetime. So many people grow up differently. But it’s not a heavy weight to carry when you’re true to yourself. I stick to that all the time, and it’s worked out for me so far.”

Caleb Williams also reacted to being the cover star for Madden 27

“I’m really excited about this moment, not only for myself but for my teammates and for the Bears. A couple of weeks ago, one of my good friends, Cole Bennett, told me that I was the first Bears player to grace the cover of a Madden game [in English]. That made it even more special for me.”
