Caleb Williams paints his nails as a form of self-expression inspired by his mother, who is a nail technician. He began painting his nails in 2021 during his final year of high school, partly because it was something different and personal that he wanted to do. Over time, it has become a signature part of his identity and game-day ritual. Additionally, he has used his nail art to raise awareness for important causes, such as mental health and suicide prevention, notably by painting the Suicide Prevention Helpline logo and the number 988 on his nails during NFL games. This combination of personal tradition and meaningful messaging shows his confidence and individuality in a sport where such expression is rare.
