Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was forced to change his phone number of 15 years after a prankster reached out last week and identified himself falsely as Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
Williams received a text that looked “so official” from someone claiming to be Johnson, one of the Bears’ 20-plus head coaching candidates, claiming he was going to take the Bears job and wanting to chat. Williams thought it might be him, knowing his interview with the Bears was scheduled around that time.
