The most important man in Chicago right now is Bears quarterback Caleb Williams.
The most important man from Chicago? That'd be Pope Leo XIV, named to the papacy on Thursday after growing up as Robert Prevost, a Chicago native.
And late Thursday, Williams chimed in with his feelings.
He needed just two words to say much more:
Daaaaaa Pope
— Caleb Williams (@CALEBcsw) May 9, 2025Leo XIV is apparently a Chicago White Sox fan in MLB, but his NFL allegiances aren't known.

That won't stop the quarterback from Da Bears from being excited about the connection to Chicago.
Leo XIV is the first pope from the United States.
He's also gained notice in the sports world for having attended Villanova for his undergrad degree.
Surely, the connections will keep emerging as the days go on.
But for now, we're left with that well-crafted tweet from Williams.
