Caleb Williams Fined by NFL for Wearing Unauthorized Caddix Cleats

The NFL initially fined Williams nearly $12,000 for wearing the unauthorized cleats in Week 6 and then imposed an additional $23,882 fine after he wore them again in Week 7. Despite the escalating penalties, Williams remains committed to using the footwear, which he believes enhances player safety on the field.
