Shedeur Sanders may have been expecting a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but he was not expecting a prank call, initially thinking it was New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis.
The prank turned out to be from Atlanta Falcons defensive coach Jeff Ulbrich’s son, Jax Ulbrich. Although Shedeur was pranked, he ultimately was drafted and showed his appreciation for the sport and for being selected.
Learn more about what happened during the phone call between the two below.
Shedeur Sanders was born on February 7, 2002, in Tyler, Texas. He is a football star and the son of Deion Sanders, a former NFL and MLB star.
Jax called Shedeur and said, “We’re going to take you with our next pick, man, but you’re going to have to wait a little bit longer, man. Sorry about that.”
Jax later issued an apology, writing on social media, “On Friday night I made a tremendous mistake. Shedeur, what I did was completely inexcusable, embarrassing, and shameful. I’m so sorry I took away from your moment, it was selfish and childish. I could never imagine getting ready to celebrate one of the greatest moments of your life and I made a terrible mistake and messed with that moment. Thank you for accepting my call earlier today, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. @shedeursanders”
