The video was derived from the famous walk by Lil Yachty at one of his concerts. It was a fabulous walk-out which is considered to be one of the greatest moments in hip hop and the tweet had changed the rapper’s figure to that of Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. The majority today believe that an OL coach should be considered as the highest priority or even the highest-paid position coach. As per a fan in the comments, “A dominant offensive line lifts up every other position on offense. They are the Atlas of the NFL.” Thus, Williams has chosen to show love and appreciation for the offensive linemen of the team, which just might be the Chicago Bears in a week.
