Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears started the NFL playoffs with a bang, defeating Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers 31-27 in the wild card run. But the Bears' postseason run came to an end in the divisional round, falling to Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams 20-17.

Still, in his second season in Chicago, Williams showed significant improvement from his rookie year. The former USC quarterback led the Bears to an 11-6 regular-season record and an NFC North title, completing 330 of 568 passes for 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions, while adding 388 yards and another three scores on the ground.

Now, just weeks into the NFL offseason, Williams is already making moves away from football. The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner is set to compete during the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, where he will take part in the inaugural celebrity 3-point contest.

Williams will be competing against six other celebrities, including:

Comdian Druski
Streamer PlaqueBoyMax
BMX athlete Nigel Sylvester
Former NBA star Richard Jefferson
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jared McCain
Internet personality Cam Wilder

While Williams will be competing in the celebrity 3-point contest, two other NFL stars will be playing in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, including Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and Los Angeles Chargers wideout Keenan Allen.

Bears QB Caleb Williams is going to participate in the NBA’s celebrity 3-Point Contest on Friday, Feb. 13 with Druski, PlaqueBoyMax and others.
