Caleb Williams explains the origins of his 'Iceman' nickname
Summary

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams discussed the origins of his nickname "Iceman" during a recent appearance on the "New Heights" podcast. He believes the moniker was given to him by former teammate DJ Moore, who started using it midway through the 2025 season. The nickname gained popularity among teammates after a dramatic Week 10 comeback victory against the New York Giants, where they celebrated a game-winning touchdown. Williams is embracing the nickname as he enters Year 3 and even aims to trademark it legally. The reveal adds to Moore's legacy in Chicago following his trade to the Buffalo Bills.
