Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has refused to stop wearing unauthorized cleats despite being fined by the NFL, according to a report published Saturday.
The issue stems from a Dec. 22, 2024 game against the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field, where Williams wore cleats that did not comply with league uniform regulations. The NFL subsequently issued a fine, but Williams has indicated he will continue to wear the cleats.
The league's uniform policy prohibits certain designs and colors that are not approved. Williams, wearing jersey number 18, has drawn attention for his footwear choices.
