Misled Shedeur Sanders Gets Strong Advice as Steelers Legend Refuses to Forgive Jeff Ulbrich’s Son

It was still the second round, and the Saints were on the clock with their 40th overall pick. That’s when Shedeur got a call on a number that was only given to the NFL. After he picked it up, the prank caller identified himself as the Saints’ GM, Mickey Loomis. Sanders thought his wait was finally over. But after saying they would pick him, the prankster hung up the call, saying he would have to wait a bit longer. Later, after a lot of investigation, it was revealed that Jeff Ulbrich’s son, Jax, was behind the prank. Although it wasn’t he who made the call, Jax was the one who leaked Sanders’ number.

The Falcons on Sunday released a statement saying, Jax “unintentionally came across the draft contact phone number for Shedeur Sanders off an open iPad while visiting his parent’s home and wrote the number down to later conduct a prank call.” Well, Jax did publicly apologize later, while Jeff said he was unaware of the prank. Heyward refused to acknowledge the prank pulled on Shedeur. “I think prank calling a player in the middle of the most important thing in life that’s not cool,” Heyward said in his podcast.

Even Sanders said it was indeed a childish act. His new head coach Kevin Stefanski also labelled those pranksters “moron.” The issue may be resolved for now with the Falcons, Jeff, and his son apologizing. But the NFL is still expected to look into the matter so that something like this doesn’t happen again.
