Sister Jean is a very popular woman right now.

The 98-year-old team chaplain of Loyola Chicago has become a viral sensation during the Ramblers' improbable run to the Final Four of the NCAA tournament, and now has NFL teams lining up to meet her.

The Carolina Panthers were the first club to extend Sister Jean an invite to visit in the fall.

After the Ramblers knocked off Kansas State on Saturday to advance to the Final Four for the first time in 55 years, the Atlanta Falcons made their pitch.

The Panthers weren't having it, though.

Given her ties to Chicago, the Bears may have the best shot at landing a visit from the chaplain.
