The NFL Draft is not just about the picks—it’s also a major fashion event, and Caleb Williams truly stood out during the 2024 draft night.
Although men often play a secondary role in red carpet fashion, draft night was a different story as many caught the nation’s eye with their style. USC quarterback Caleb Williams, chosen first overall by the Chicago Bears, took this opportunity to honor his new team through his attire.
Williams opted for a sleek, tailored navy blue suit by Chrome Hearts, cleverly incorporating a Bears theme into his look. What most fans might have missed, however, was the unique detailing beneath his outerwear. He revealed to the social media team that he wore a custom-made shirt emblazoned with “Chicago” at the bottom, describing it as a “one-of-one” piece.

“You don’t really see too many people with a double-breasted zip-up, so I went double-breasted zip-up, stacking the chrome hearts, smallest to largest,” Williams explained. “I got it on the pants leg. I got it on the back as a monochrome. It’s very subtle, no big chains, nothing like that.”
Williams had previously hyped his draft night outfit, promising it would be unique. True to his word, his ensemble featured distinctive zippers—a detail not seen on any other player’s suit that night.
Joining a roster of historic No. 1 picks like Tom Harmon in 1941 and Bob Fenimore in 1947, Williams is hailed as one of the most promising quarterback prospects since Andrew Luck. Chicago fans are hopeful that he will not only revive the franchise but also lead the Bears to regular playoff appearances and, perhaps, a deep playoff run or even a Super Bowl appearance in the future—achievements that could solidify his status as a legendary figure in the city.
