CHICAGO -- Bears quarterback Caleb Williams can laugh about it now, but a catfishing prank left the No. 1 overall pick heated after he was being tricked into believing he was talking to his new head coach.

Appearing on the "St. Brown Podcast" with NFL wide receivers Amon-Ra and Equanimeous St. Brown, Williams detailed how he was tricked into believing that Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was reaching out to let him know he would be the Chicago Bears' next head coach.
