US EditionFalcons say defensive coordinator Ulbrich's son was responsible for prank call to Shedeur Sanders
- On April 4, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado, Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich's 21-year-old son Jax Ulbrich made a prank call to quarterback Shedeur Sanders, a 2025 NFL Draft prospect from Colorado.
- Jax Ulbrich found Sanders’ draft contact number on an open iPad while visiting his parents' home and wrote it down to make the prank call, which Jeff Ulbrich did not know about until afterward.
- The call impersonated New Orleans Saints GM Mickey Loomis, misleading Sanders that he would be drafted soon, although Sanders was actually selected later by the Cleveland Browns at pick 144 in the fifth round.
- The Atlanta Falcons issued a statement condemning the prank, apologized to Sanders and his family, and promised to facilitate a personal apology from Jax while cooperating fully with the NFL's ongoing investigation.
- Shedeur Sanders described the prank as childish but said it had no impact on him, while Jax Ulbrich publicly called his actions inexcusable and expressed regret for disrupting Sanders’ moment.
