It’s been quite the whirlwind, wind-down week for Caleb Williams. After his Chicago Bears were eliminated from the playoffs in a heart-breaking overtime loss last Sunday night, the star quarterback has gotten away from football.
Well, sort of.
On Monday, he attended a Chicago Blackhawks’ NHL game at the United Center with Cubs’ outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong. A day later he posted a fond farewell to fans on his social media, stirring thousands of reactions.

In the post on Instagram, Williams wrote: “Through ups n downs, from holidays n disasters, to love n hate. Sometimes you fall, sometimes you get knocked down. First, “GOOD”! Second, get up. Third, prepare. Lastly, go again on the road to glory. -ICE,”
The post has prompted almost 400,000 likes, including one from another Chicago sports star: Angel Reese.
