Bears QB Caleb Williams Changes Phone Number After Ben Johnson Prank

Chicago: So, here’s the scoop. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams had to change his phone number after a prankster pretended to be Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. It all started when Williams got a text that seemed super official, claiming Johnson wanted to chat about the Bears job.

Thinking it was legit, he reached out to Amon-Ra St. Brown for Johnson’s real number. But Amon-Ra was busy at dinner and didn’t reply in time. By then, Williams had already been pranked. A FaceTime call went viral, showing a young guy joking about the coaching situation.

Williams laughed it off later, saying it was a classic prank and gave props to the pranksters. But he was also a bit annoyed, knowing the video would be out there and he’d have to change his number after 15 years. He tried to keep his cool during the prank, knowing they were probably recording him.

When asked about the Bears’ coaching search, he didn’t spill much. He respected Marcus Freeman but didn’t have any inside info. He just said Freeman built something great at Notre Dame and should stay put.
