Bears' Logan Jones will receive lifetime supply of ketchup as 'Mr. 57'
In the history of the Chicago Bears, there had only ever been one pick at the No. 57 selection, that being Hall of Famer and franchise legend Devin Hester. This past weekend, the Bears made their second ever pick at 57, drafting Iowa center Logan Jones, who was then gifted with a lifetime supply of ketchup, building irony for the city of Chicago's disdain for the condiment.
Heinz brand's "57 Varieties" labeled Jones as "Mr. 57" due to his draft slot, the first year in which they're rewarding the unique gift matching with their brand. While it's not a hometown favorite condiment, it is of Jones' who said after being selected that he loves ketchup, and will take all of the supply that he can get from the Heinz brand.
"I love it! I'll take as much as I can get," Jones said, via Courtney Cronin. "...Let’s go ketchup!"

While loyal Chicagoans may not embrace Jones' love for ketchup, especially on a hot dog, the style of play he has at the center position should make him a quick fan favorite. Many draft experts were high on the Bears' selection of Jones, believing he could compete with veteran Garrett Bradbury for the starting center job in 2026, as the team looks to replace veteran Drew Dalman, who retired this offseason.
During his collegiate days at Iowa, Jones took over Tyler Linderbaum after the latter's departure for the NFL, and topped off his career by winning the Rimington Trophy, awarded to the best center in college football.
