Looks like Caleb Williams won’t be walking away with a Grammy anytime soon.
The Chicago Bears starred in the debut of the newest season of “Hard Knocks” on Tuesday, giving viewers an inside scoop on how the squad is prepping for the 2024 campaign.
One tradition the documentary kept alive was showing how rookies adjust to the big leagues, which put the No. 1 overall pick in the spotlight.
Williams, 22, partook in a variety of team-building exercises with other fellow rookies, but karaoke was the event that stood out from the rest.
When it was his turn to sing, the rookie quarterback hollered, “Come on now! Come on now,” hoping to hype up the team ahead of his performance.
He performed “Ordinary People” by John Legend, his go-to song on game days. However, as the first line ensued, Williams tensed up and forgot the words.
His teammates quickly let him have it, as they booed him raucously and threw trash in his direction.
Williams ended up powering through the rest of the song, but that came after he pulled up a lyric video for reference.
The Bears deemed the activity a “character-testing tradition,” per OutKick.
“It’s been great, it’s been fun,” Williams said in an NFL interview, where he claimed he was surprised by the team’s camaraderie thus far.
“Building the brotherhood, the bond and all of that.”
For Williams, this wasn’t the first time he had an underwhelming performance in something other than football.
Earlier this summer, he was spotted at Wrigley Field before one of the Chicago Cubs matchups. He spent time in the team’s facilities and eventually found his way to the batting cage.
Williams noticeably struggled as he lined up and took a few swings off the tee.
This time, instead of his teammates, social media ridiculed the emerging star for his form and inability to make good contact with the ball.
One user wrote on X, “It’s wild to me how many freak professional athletes are only good at the sport they play professionally. Like has he never picked up a baseball bat before?”
“My 3 year old son has a better swing,” another quipped.
Williams will debut for Bears on Sept. 8 at home against the Titans.
