Caleb Williams was driving on the interstate in Florida when the power players of the Bears’ organization called to tell him they’d hired Ben Johnson as his new coach, and he couldn’t contain the thrill.
“I don’t know if it was safe or not, but I gave out a loud yell and scream,” Williams said. “Brings a bunch of clarity to the offseason. It brings a bunch of different things to the offseason.”
This wasn’t a prank like when kids tricked Williams last week by texting him as Johnson.
