NFL rookie star quarterback Caleb Williams went wild after receiving a warm welcome in the city where he'll play in the league.
Williams, who was selected with the No. 1 overall pick by the Chicago Bears in last month's NFL Draft, appeared at the Chicago Cubs game on Saturday.
The former USC star Williams was spotted at Wrigley Field and attending the Cubs-Milwaukee Brewers.
He was among numerous Bears players in attendance during the game, including wideouts DJ Moore and Keenan Allen and tight end Cole Kmet.
The Bears players were introduced to the crowd in the seventh inning.
Williams, who was sporting a Cubs jersey, received a standing ovation from the fans.
And Williams revealed a bear claw pose during the sequence.
The 22-year-old then clapped and smiled as fans continued to cheer the superstar.
Fans on social media were amazed with Williams' appearance and emotions at the Cubs game.
"The guy's settled in already," one posted.
"Wow, that's awesome!" another wrote.
"That's the loudest I've ever heard Wrigley," a third commented.
<!-- End of Brightcove Player --> Bears fans will have hopes of Williams being the long-term answer at signal-caller.
Chicago has had just two quarterbacks (Jim McMahon and Mitchell Trubisky) in the last 60 years to receive a Pro Bowl selection.
And the Bears drafted Justin Fields in the first-round in the 2021 NFL Draft, only to trade the Ohio State product three years later.
Williams was college football's top quarterback over the last two seasons.

He won the 2022 Heisman Trophy.
After the 2024 Draft, Williams revealed that he knows he'll continue to be under a microscope.
"I'm always going to have scrutiny," Williams told the Chicago Tribune.
"I do things like paint my nails. I'm always going to have scrutiny over that. I wear funky clothes, things like that.
"So you know, just do my job on the football field and win games.
"I think if you win a bunch of games (in Chicago), you'll make a lot of people — the majority — happy."
