The Atlanta Falcons have found themselves at the center of controversy again, this time related to their draft practices. The team was fined a total of $350,000 due to a prank phone call mishap involving Shedeur Sanders, a quarterback who was drafted by the team. The prank was reportedly orchestrated by the defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich's son, leading to significant backlash and questioning of the Falcons’ integrity and decision-making.

This instance is merely the latest in a string of infractions that have raised eyebrows around the Falcons. In the past few seasons, the team has faced numerous penalties for violations ranging from tampering with quarterbacks like Kirk Cousins to neglecting proper injury reporting protocols with players like Bijan Robinson.
