Caleb Williams, a figure of intrigue, has become the subject of widespread discussion. Whether it’s his status as the top projected pick of the 2024 draft class or his bold, unapologetic style, Caleb Williams is the football star who’s captured everyone’s attention, mostly in a positive light. However, there are those who take a different view. This time, Caleb Williams’ personal choices came under intense scrutiny.

With his draft stocks being the highest among all, Williams is scrutinized most. And it’s his bold ways that put him at the center of everyone’s opinions. On the Black and White Sports podcast, John Matrixx gave his tough opinion on Williams. In recent times, Caleb Williams, painting his nails and wearing a pink phone case, took over the CFB world in a frenzy. While several others jumped to show their support, Matrixx had another allegation to hurl at Williams.

“He’s trying to deny that the phone was pink. Yes, it was. It was clearly pink,” claimed the guest on the podcast. “I can tell you right now my issue is if I’m a fan of the Bears or if I’m one of them players or if I’m in the NFL homie, I don’t want you leading me on the field. Sorry, nobody’s going to respect him in that locker room. No, he’s not going to any respect,” Matrixx stated. This controversy could potentially significantly impact Williams’ draft stocks, which are currently at their peak.

However, Matrixx wasn’t the only one against Williams’ pink choices.
