Falcons, Jeff Ulbrich fined for Shedeur Sanders draft day prank call incident involving Ulbrich’s son Jax

The NFL seemed likely to make an example of the Atlanta Falcons, as they have made a habit of doing in recent years, after defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich’s son Jax was confirmed to be involved in the draft day prank call to quarterback prospect Shedeur Sanders. While the Falcons got out ahead of it by releasing a statement apologizing and Jax reached out to Sanders himself to say sorry, the fact that the son of an NFL coach was able to get Sanders’ cell phone number and do that was something the league was going to frown on.
