Nine year old Henry did something very special. He had just finished watching Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears' new quarterback, when he started to feel brave. Caleb Williams paints his nails before games, and that gave Henry and his dad the idea to do it too.
But some people didn't like it, and Henry was made fun of. Instead of sadness, Henry wrote a heartfelt kind letter to Caleb Williams, and what Henry wrote in the letter is now being circulated everywhere on the web. And it's making many people smile.
Henry thanks Caleb Williams in a sweet letter for helping him feel strong
In June 2025, little Henry sent a letter through the mail to Caleb Williams, the No 1 draft pick for the Chicago Bears. Henry wrote the letter by hand. In it, he thanked Caleb Williams for showing him it's okay to be different.
Henry said, 'I paint my nails now because of you. My dad does it with me. Sometimes kids say mean things, but I stand up for myself now.' He also said Caleb Williams gave him the courage to be proud of who he is.
At the end of the letter, Henry drew a football and a heart. He said, 'Thank you for being brave.' His family shared the letter on X (Twitter). The post became popular very quickly. Many people said Henry's words were beautiful and brave.

Caleb Williams inspires kids by being himself on & off the field
Caleb Williams has become known for more than being an unbelievable talent at playing football. He is known to paint his fingernails bright colors on a regular basis, and occasionally with words, fashioned as 'Fight' and 'Love.' He did this even when he played for USC, and now continues it with the Chicago Bears.
In past interviews, Caleb Williams said, 'Painting my nails is just me showing love and staying true to myself.'
Now, young fans like Henry are feeling brave too. Caleb Williams' small actions are helping kids stand up for themselves—and feel proud of who they are.

The claim was proven true with his public apology to his family, fans, and sponsors.

IND vs ENG: Stuart Broad rips into England bowlers, says 'they didn't quite get it right'
Ben Stokes (AP Photo) NEW DELHI: Shubman Gill began his tenure as India's Test captain with a brilliant unbeaten century, following a composed ton by Yashasvi Jaiswal , as India took control on Day 1 of the opening Test against England at Headingley on Friday. After being put into bat by England skipper Ben Stokes , India closed the day in a dominant position at 359 for 3 in this five-Test series opener. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Gill remained unbeaten on 127 at stumps, having forged a crucial 129-run partnership for the third wicket with Jaiswal, who was dismissed for 101 shortly after tea. Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant added late momentum with a typically aggressive knock, finishing the day on 65 not out. His innings included a remarkable swatted six off Chris Woakes in the final over of the day, as he and his new captain stitched an unbroken 138-run stand to further dent England's hopes. Former England pacer Stuart Broad criticised the home team's bowling effort, suggesting they failed to execute their plans properly. 'It didn't feel like the England bowlers fully executed their plans. I don't think they got it quite right — but that doesn't mean they can't do so this morning and turn the game around," Broad told Sky Sports Cricket. 'I think when the bowlers went full, they went a bit too full. And I feel England could have used a straighter field — maybe a straight mid-off, a straight mid-on, and an extra cover instead of a backward point. To me, backward point only comes into play if the ball is hit directly at it. Anywhere either side, and it's four. So I'd say, get rid of the backward point, bring in an extra cover, and encourage the batters to play with a straighter bat, especially if you're bowling that slightly fuller length,' he explained. Dominant India on Day 1! Jaiswal & Gill Hit Centuries | ENG vs IND 1st Test - Sahil from Leeds Stokes' decision to bowl first may have been influenced by the fact that the last six Tests at Headingley were all won by teams batting second. However, with veteran pacers James Anderson and Stuart Broad retired, and both Jofra Archer and Mark Wood sidelined due to injury, England's attack struggled on a pitch that offered little help under increasingly bright skies. Woakes, recalled in place of the injured Gus Atkinson, took the new ball but went wicketless in his 19 overs, conceding 89 runs. Stokes was the most successful bowler on the day, finishing with figures of 2 for 43 from 13 overs. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here
