LOOK: Ben Johnson's kids take photo in front of Caleb Williams' locker
The Chicago Bears officially hired Ben Johnson as their new head coach on Tuesday, which included his first trip to Halas Hall to get a tour of his new home.
Johnson was greeted to a standing ovation from Bears staff in the Halas Hall lobby, where he thanked the employees before getting a tour of the facility, including a look inside Chicago's locker room. The Bears social account shared several photos, including one of his kids posing in front of quarterback Caleb Williams' locker. It was a pretty cool sight.

There's been plenty of anticipation and rumors about a potential Johnson hire in Chicago dating back a couple of months ago, which led to the media asking Williams about his impressions of Johnson. And the young quarterback had effusive praise.
"I think he's been really cool to watch," Williams said earlier this month. "During our game, I would sit back and watch and try and learn something. It was fascinating to watch because he always, like I said, he had wrinkles for counters and things like that throughout the game. I think he's obviously done really well. It'd be cool to see how that all goes down."
Johnson also had high praise for Williams, especially after getting to see him up close twice last season.
“There is no question the guy is talented," Johnson said last month. "I remember standing on the sideline last game and you can hear the ball whistle by you. He's got quite a fastball and has some creativity to him.”
While Johnson and Williams have yet to connect, there's no doubt that this duo is going to be quite special for Chicago for the foreseeable future.
