In the photo, Rose's kids were donning Caleb Williams' Bears jersey with his signature No. 18.
Caleb Williams is fresh off a Week 5 win over the weekend. Bears topped the Carolina Panthers 36-10 in the No. 1 pick's best performance of his young career. Williams completed 20 of 29 pass attempts for 304 passing yards and two touchdowns without a turnover. He also pulled the ball down for five carries, posting 34 rushing yards.
The Bears won their second straight game, advancing to 3-2 as Williams continues to grow more comfortable in his rookie year. The Heisman Trophy winner is earning some love from a Chicago legend in Derrick Rose.
Derrick Rose announces retirement from the NBA
Chicago Bulls legend Derrick Rose decided to call it a career on September 26. Rose was released by the Memphis Grizzlies moments before he announced his retirement.
Rose played 24 games for the Grizzlies last season, averaging 8.0 points, 3.3 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per game. The 2010-11 NBA Most Valuable Player earned three NBA All-Star selections and was named NBA Rookie of the Year in 2008-09.
Derrick Rose played for the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies in his 15-year NBA career.
In his seven seasons in Chicago, Rose averaged 19.7 points, 6,2 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game and became the youngest player in NBA history to win league MVP at just 22 years old. Rose will go down as one of the greatest Chicago Bulls in history and will likely see his No. 1 jersey hanging in the rafters of the United Center.
