The NFL has imposed fines totaling $350,000 on the Atlanta Falcons and their defensive coordinator, Jeff Ulbrich, following a prank call incident involving Shedeur Sanders during the NFL Draft. This situation arose when Ulbrich's son, Jax, accessed Sanders' private number on an iPad and made a prank call, leading to an investigation by the league.

The Falcons received a $250,000 fine for failing to safeguard confidential information disclosed ahead of the draft, while Ulbrich was fined $100,000. Despite the embarrassment caused to Sanders, who was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round, he appears to have moved past the incident, celebrating his achievement on social media. NFL insider Adam Schefter pointed out that the lack of an agent may have contributed to the oversight that allowed Sanders' number to be shared with other teams.
