This recent revelation has everyone talking, as Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams shared his less-than-enthusiastic reaction to a prank call that left him fuming. The incident, involving a group of mischievous pranksters, began with a series of text messages that led Williams to believe he was in contact with Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
The pranksters, posing as Johnson, sent Williams a message claiming that Johnson had accepted the head coaching position with the Bears. The news excited Williams, who was eager about the prospect of working with the innovative coordinator. The exchange culminated in an arranged FaceTime call, where Williams expected to see Johnson’s familiar face on the screen.
However, much to Williams’ dismay, the call connected him to a young prankster instead. Attempting to maintain his composure, Williams listened as the child gleefully revealed the ruse. Despite keeping his cool during the call, Williams admitted that he was “fuming” afterward, feeling a mix of embarrassment and frustration.
The honest reaction after the prank
Reflecting on the prank, Caleb Williams couldn’t help but acknowledge its creativity, giving the young pranksters credit for their clever execution. He recognized the effort and thought put into the prank, even if it came at his expense.
In response to the incident, Williams took precautionary measures by changing his phone number to avoid further pranks. The episode serves as a reminder of the sometimes unpredictable and humorous interactions that can occur between athletes and fans.
The story has since gone viral, with fans and fellow athletes sharing their reactions and amusement. While Williams’ initial anger is understandable, his ability to appreciate the humor and creativity behind the prank speaks to his good-natured personality.
