What was supposed to be a momentous day for Shedeur Sanders quickly turned into an all-out NFL scandal. Jax Ulbrich, son of Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, just pulled off a prank that has left the football world fuming. And it’s not just any prank. No, this one was an all-time blunder. The young Ulbrich, in what can only be described as a colossal misstep, dialed up Sanders, pretending to be none other than New Orleans Saints GM Mickey Loomis.
Sources revealed that Ulbrich, with a seemingly gleeful attitude, started off by telling Sanders the Saints were going to draft him. But just as Sanders started to process the huge news—bam!—Ulbrich revealed the “joke.” A prank on the day of the draft? Fans are calling it downright disrespectful.
The fallout was immediate. As first reported by TMZ, this “joke” has sparked an outcry from fans, fellow players, and even NFL insiders. How could anyone think that this was a good idea on the biggest day of Sanders’ life? The rookie QB—son of NFL legend Deion Sanders—had no idea what hit him. One insider claimed that the prank left Sanders feeling “humiliated” and “frustrated.”
But the story doesn’t end there. The impact of Ulbrich’s stunt went viral in the worst way possible. Social media exploded, with fans flooding platforms to express their anger. People are demanding an apology, not just from Jax Ulbrich, but from the entire Ulbrich family. But Ulbrich didn’t just mess with Sanders; he also dragged Sydney Schoen into this, and fans are livid.
In a desperate attempt to salvage what’s left of his reputation, Ulbrich issued a public apology on Instagram, admitting that his actions were “thoughtless” and “out of line.” But was it enough? Fans don’t seem to think so. The damage is done. The NFL’s integrity is now in question. How could this prank even happen under the radar? And how did Ulbrich get access to Sanders’ personal phone number?
Insiders claim that this will not just be forgotten. The NFL is facing criticism for allowing this kind of behavior to go unchecked. The draft should have been a time for Sanders to celebrate the beginning of his NFL career. Instead, it’s been tainted by this ridiculous stunt.
Sources also confirmed that Sanders, in true professional fashion, responded with grace, thanking Ulbrich for the apology while making it clear that he was not amused by the prank. He took the high road, as expected. But it’s hard to ignore that this whole situation could’ve been avoided.
