The Chicago Bears are among the six teams looking for a new head coach this offseason. Their primary objective is to hire someone who could help Caleb Williams fulfill his potential and become a franchise cornerstone.

The majority of the Bears' fanbase is clamoring for Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to take over and he seemingly had, or at least that's what the quarterback was led to believe.

A few kids managed to get their hands on Williams' phone number and texted him, pretending to be Johnson. They convinced him he was talking to the highly coveted coach and even got him to FaceTime them. When he did, he learned he was being pranked, but he was a good sport about it.

However, he wasn't as amused as he looked in the video. During an appearance on Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown's podcast, the wide receiver asked him about the incident. Williams responded:

"Bro I was so mad!"

The Bears star explained the background behind the ordeal in the podcast episode, which will premiere on Wednesday morning.
