Caleb Williams cleats controversy, explained: Why Bears QB defied NFL after fine over Caddix brand

Part of what has made Williams so successful is his willingness to do what he wants and go his own way. That extends to what he wears, too. Williams continues to wear cleats the NFL doesn't approve of, and fines from the league haven't stopped him yet.
