Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams’ message on unexpected move away from football
After a successful season with the Chicago Bears, second-year quarterback Caleb Williams will be taking his talents elsewhere. The 24-year-old will be participating in the Celebrity Three-Point Contest at the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend.
The 2024 NFL first overall pick broke the Bears’ franchise single-season passing record with a total of 3,942 yards. Williams also had 27 touchdowns with only 7 interceptions this season, leading the Bears to an 11-6 finish.
Thanks to Williams’ strong play, the Bears clinched the NFC North title for the first time since 2018. The former No. 1 overall pick also led Chicago to a wildcard win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFL playoffs. However, they suffered a season-ending defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round.

Williams will join Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jared McCain at the Celebrity Three-Point Contest. Other participants include known internet personalities like Druski, PlaqueBoyMax, and Jake from State Farm. BMX athlete Nigel Sylvester and former NBA Champion Richard Jefferson round out the competition.
Williams shared his reaction to the news on Instagram: “Not a hooper, man,” Williams wrote on Instagram. “Gonna go have some fun.”

Williams immediately sent a disclaimer about his basketball skills, or rather, the apparent lack thereof. He made it abundantly clear that his primary goal will be to enjoy the unique experience away from football.
The NBA Celebrity Three-Point Contest is part of the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend festivities. This will be part of a number of events during the weekend, dubbed as the “NBA’s Ultimate All-Star Fan Experience.”
The Celebrity Three-Point Contest should not be mistaken for the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. The event will feature “Shang-Chi” himself, Simu Liu, and former NBA Champion Jeremy Lin. It is also not the same as the 2026 State Farm Three-Point Contest. The likes of Devin Booker, Donovan Mitchell, Jamal Murray, Tyrese Maxey and former champion Damian Lillard will battle for the three-point crown.
As for the Celebrity Three-Point Contest, McCain is expected to win as he’s the only NBA player among the competitors. Bears fans will still be rooting for their quarterback. And as Caleb Williams said, he’s gonna go have some fun.
