Celebrity Jersey Cards #779 Caleb Williams & Jill Pizzotti

Celebrity Jersey Cards is a weekly series in which I create digital trading cards for celebrities wearing sports jerseys. Today, I celebrate the Chicago Bears, who are out of the playoffs, but had an unbelievable season.

The Bears success started with two men. In addition to new head coach Ben Johnson, quarterback Caleb Williams led the team to an amazing season. In his rookie season, Williams showed flashes of brilliance, but suffered through a 4-13 season. Williams wasn't helped by bad coaching and a thin roster. That changed this season, as Johnson brought a new attitude and new players bolstered the team. Williams set the club's passing yards record and looks to be the star of the future. Williams earned his Celebrity Jersey Card at a Chicago Blackhawks game he attended with Cubs star Pete Crow Armstrong.

Born in Lombard, Illinois, Jill Pizzotti played basketball at Southeast Missouri State. She started her coaching career there upon graduation. Pizzotti had several coaching jobs, including as an assistant at DePaul, before being named women's basketball head coach last season. Coach Pizzotti supported the Chicago Bears during their playoff run by donning a jersey during a Blue Demons game.
