“Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears” premiered this week, and fans are already upset about something Caleb Williams did.
The docuseries features the Bears, and of course, the first storyline surrounds the rookie quarterback.
The episode included a botched karaoke performance in front of the team, but the directors had no clue that one other moment would go viral or be talked about as much.
In the first episode, Williams could be seen ending a session with a coach, reaching down to grab what looks like a purse, and walking out.
This clip of Caleb Williams with a purse in Hard Knocks is going viral, and many fans are upset about it.

Caleb Williams is already used to fans slamming him for rocking painted nails, so you just know they had a lot to say about his apparent purse.

Is Caleb Williams a purse guy?

Williams was selected first overall by the Bears in the 2024 NFL draft and is expected to put an end to the franchise not being able to find their franchise quarterback.
Expectations for No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick Caleb Williams could not be much higher ahead of his rookie season with the Chicago Bears.
The former USC and Oklahoma star, who won the 2022 Heisman Trophy with the Trojans, is widely viewed as his franchise’s savior. If he becomes that, Bears fans will not care about him wearing a purse.
Bears QB Caleb Williams Looks for Similar Rookie Season As CJ Stroud
Caleb Williams, the first overall pick by the Chicago Bears, aims to replicate what CJ Stroud did in his successful rookie season with the Houston Texans.
He certainly has the weapons to do so, as he has D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen.
As a reminder, C.J. Stroud threw for 4,180 yards and 23 touchdowns against only five interceptions in his rookie year, per ESPN. The team also won the division and won a Wildcard playoff game.
If Caleb Williams can put up similar numbers, he just might get a statue outside the stadium.
