Falcons say defensive coordinator Ulbrich's son was responsible for prank call to Shedeur Sanders

  • On April 4, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado, Jax Ulbrich, the 21-year-old child of Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, made a prank phone call to quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the University of Colorado NFL Showcase.
  • Jax Ulbrich found Sanders' private draft contact number unintentionally on an open iPad at his parent's home and later used it to impersonate Saints GM Mickey Loomis in the prank call.
  • The Falcons released a statement apologizing to Sanders and his family, emphasized that Jeff Ulbrich was unaware of the prank and data exposure, and confirmed they are cooperating fully with the NFL investigation.
  • Jax Ulbrich admitted on social media his actions were 'completely inexcusable' and apologized directly, while Sanders described the prank as childish but said, "It didn't really have an impact on me."
  • The incident highlighted security lapses in draft contact information handling and prompted the Falcons to review and update protocols to prevent similar events in the future.
