Right before Shedeur Sanders got that life-changing draft call from the Browns, he picked up another one—this time from someone claiming to be Saints GM Mickey Loomis. The voice said New Orleans was about to draft him. Shedeur was hyped… until he found out it was just a prank. Turns out, the “GM” was actually Jax Ulbrich—son of Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich—goofing off after stumbling on Shedeur’s number.
If reports are accurate, Ulbrich’s son, Jax, took the number from Ulbrich’s iPad and used it to prank Sanders during the draft. Funny? Maybe. Harmless? Not exactly. Turns out, the NFL didn’t take that prank lightly. In fact, the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero confirmed that the NFL fined the Falcons $250,000 and DC Jeff Ulbrich $100,000 over the leak of Shedeur Sanders’ phone number.
