Caleb Williams appeared on a star-studded panel at Fanatics Fest in New York City on June 20th, sharing the stage with football greats like Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Bryce Young, and CJ Stroud. The panel took place at The Theater and featured a wide range of discussions—but one moment, in particular, stood out.
Williams was asked a question that led to the most unexpected comment of the event. He called Green Bay the “worst environment” and said they had the “worst fans.” For Chicago Bears fans, this was music to their ears, given the rivalry between the Bears and Packers.
