The son of Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich admitted to being the one behind a prank call to Shedeur Sanders during Day 2 of the NFL draft, according to the Falcons and an apology posted to social media on Sunday.
Jax Ulbrich, 21, discovered Sanders' draft contact phone number off an open iPad while visiting his parents' home and wrote down the number to conduct the call, according to the Falcons. Jax Ulbrich said the call was "a tremendous mistake" in an Instagram post.
The call came as Sanders continued to fall in the draft on Friday with a video on social media showing the quarterback receiving a call from someone impersonating New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis.
