During the cost of the 2025 NFL draft, a prank Atlanta Falcons for Colorado Quarterback Sheders Sanders was fined $ 100,000 by the league for the “tremendous mistake” of his 21 -year -old son Jeff Ulbich.
NFL fined Falcons to allow Sanders’ personal information – his cell phone number – leaking, and a tablet called a prank to swipe the information and make a prank call on Friday for the unsuccessful inspection of his son of a tablet, when the second and third round was completed when the second and third round was completed.
Jacques Ulbich apologized in a statement to call Sanders. He dialed Sanders, while former Falcons Cornerback Dion Sanders’ son eagerly waited for his name and amidst an unexpected fall out of the top four rounds.
Jacques Ulbich pretended to be the monk Loomis, the monk, and told Sanders that the next pick of the monk only to tell that Sanders would have to wait.
“It’s a long wait, man,” Jacques Albich’s voice was said to Sanders in a video of the call. “We are going to take you with our next pick, man, but you have to wait for a while, man. Sorry.”
When the pick never came, Sanders did not come in the fifth round and was selected by Cleveland Brown with pick number 144.
He said that the prank call in a media teleclane had no effect on him.
Sanders said, “It was liked, I mean, well, like I don’t feed in negativity or I don’t feed that stuff.” “You have seen Dione Junior on YouTube video. My reaction to this, I don’t do – this is what is this. I think it is childish. Surely, I think it was a childish acting, but everyone does childish things here and there.”
Jacques Alberich said he used his father’s unlock iPad to recover the sanders’ information. In a statement, Jacques Albich said that his tasks were “fully disabled” and thanked Sanders for taking a second call from him for apologizing.
NFL said it opened an immediate investigation and punished on Wednesday, which is an amount equal to the total signature bonus received by the 144th pick Austin Booker (Beers) in the 2024 draft. The four -year contract of the Booker included bonuses signed $ 349,140.
Falkans said in a formal statement on Wednesday, “We appreciate NFL’s Swift and in -depth review of the previous week’s data exposure and the incident caused by it.” “We were active in addressing the situation internally and cooperated fully with the league throughout the process, and coach Jeff Ulbich and the discipline for the organization.
Jeff Ulmbrich was the interim head coach of New York Jets at the end of the previous season and played linebackers at NFL.
He was hired in January to become a defensive coordinator by Falcons head coach Rahim Morris, replacing Jimmy Lake.
Before the Colts used the number 14 overall pick to draft Tyler Warren of Pen State, he said that he was also a victim of a prank call. According to reports, the league was informed about the first round pick Mason Graham, Steelrs Quarter Kail McCord and other possibilities of the first round of the brown, who were receiving similar calls waiting for the draft.
