Chicago’s sports scene has it up this Tuesday night with a buzz that only big names and big games can bring. At the center of this high-energy fusion were none other than theChicago Sky’s rising star, Angel Reese, and the Windy City’s newest quarterback sensation, Caleb Williams.
Fresh off his No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Williams hasn’t wasted any time diving into the heart of Chicago’s sports culture. After recently making waves at a Cubs game, Williams escalated his tour of the city’s sporting venues by dropping in at the Sky’s preseason game against the New York Liberty. Joining him were his new Chicago Bears teammates, Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen, proving that the NFL rookies are here not just to play, but to support.
The crowd was buzzing as the Bears’ trio and Coby White from the Chicago Bulls were spotted in the stands. The WNBA celebrated the moment on X , sharing, “That Chi-Town love hits different! Keenan Allen, Caleb Williams, & Rome Odunze of the @chicagobears and Coby White of the @chicagobulls pulled up to support the Sky!” The city’s sports stars are clearly ready to make some noise, both on and off the field.

The ties between Williams and Reese run deeper than their newfound geographical proximity. Both hail from the DMV area-D.C., Maryland, and Virginia-a connection that Reese treasures. “Yeah, me and Caleb are cool,” Reese shared in a recent interview. “One of my good friends is best friends with Caleb in my friend group. Just being able to have another DMV tie, another amazing player… so we lit right now. We turning the city up right now,” she added, her excitement palpable.
