On Wednesday morning, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh handed a Michigan helmet and Jordan sneakers to Pope Francis at St. Peter’s Basilica.

Harbaugh and the Michigan football team attended the Pope’s weekly Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica on Wednesday.

Ninety-nine Michigan football players, Harbaugh, his wife Sarah Harbaugh and the football staff are on a spring break trip to Italy this week, according to ESPN.
