The NFL came down hard on the Atlanta Falcons and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich after his son prank called Shedeur Sanders during the 2025 NFL Draft. The league fined the Falcons $250,000 and also fined Ulbrich $100,000 for the incident, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Ulbrich's son, Jax, used his dad's iPad to get Sanders' phone number. Jax then pretended to be New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis, and told Sanders he was about to be drafted by the franchise.
