"It’s me. You call it unique. I call it me," the USC standout and 2022 Heisman Trophy winner said. "And that’s kind of how I go about it. I paint my nails, I wear unique things… on and off the field and we’ll be able to showcase that here today and in the future here soon."

Williams was wearing a simple suit as he walked down the carpet to talk to the media and answer questions. He explained what he was wearing to sports correspondent Kaylee Hartung.

"I went with a double-breasted zip-up, you don’t really see too many people with a double-breasted zip-up," Williams said. "Chrome hearts, stacking the chrome hearts from smallest to largest. I got it on the pants leg. I got it on the back as a monochrome. … Classy, unique one-of-one."

The Chicago Bears have the No. 1 pick in the draft and have been linked to Williams since they secured the selection. The team acquired the pick from the Panthers in a trade for their 2023 top draft pick and wide receiver D.J. Moore.

The Panthers selected quarterback Bryce Young in last year’s draft, but the team had the worst record in the league, allowing the Bears to grab the No. 1 pick.
