Caleb Williams trademarks 'Iceman' despite not knowing Gervin

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is securing the trademark for 'Iceman' to control merchandise, clarifying he was unaware of NBA legend George Gervin's ownership of the nickname.

Williams told Front Office Sports he was unaware Gervin was the original 'Iceman,' explaining the trademark was a business move to prevent others from selling unauthorized merchandise using the name he earned from his teammates.

Despite the confusion, the rookie quarterback stated he has grown to embrace the moniker and holds no personal animosity toward the NBA legend, though the two have not yet spoken.
