War paint on the nails

Caleb Williams has interesting traditions that he follows during his games. The one that has caught the eyes of the viewers is his painted nails. Williams has painted nails through several games in the season. On Good Morning America, he explained his reason for painting his nails. He mentioned that his inspiration for painting his nails was his mother. Subsequently, he talked about how his mother has been doing it since a little after he was born. He said, ”So I was playing my game, messing with my mom, and kind of just sitting there she’d always do my nails. I didn’t get paint on him, but she’d always do ’em.”

However, after winning the Heisman Trophy, the quarterback’s integrity has been called into question. The main reason behind this was that before a game against Utah, he had painted ‘F*ck Utah’ on his nails. His actions had earned him a lot of flak from NFL fans. After winning, he was criticized even more. However, the true question lies in whether this was truly an act that takes away his integrity or whether it was all just a part of the game.
