Bears QB Caleb Williams Changes Phone Number After Prank

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was pranked by a group of teenagers who impersonated Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, leading him to change his phone number after 15 years. The prank unfolded when Williams received a text from someone claiming to be Johnson, stating he would be taking the head coach position and expressing excitement to work with him. Believing the text was legitimate, Williams reached out to his former teammate, Amon-Ra St. Brown, for confirmation but was pranked instead during a subsequent FaceTime call. Despite feeling embarrassed, Williams took the prank in stride, calling it a 'classic prank' and acknowledging the effort of the pranksters. The incident occurred while the Bears are actively searching for a new head coach, with Johnson being one of the candidates. Williams' lighthearted attitude towards the prank shows his ability to handle the situation with humor amidst the serious context of the Bears' coaching search.
