Overview

  • Shedeur Sanders and several other NFL draft prospects were victims of prank calls exploiting leaked phone numbers during the 2025 NFL Draft.
  • Jax Ulbrich, son of Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, accessed an unsecured iPad containing draft contact information to make unauthorized calls.
  • Sanders was pranked before his fifth-round selection by the Cleveland Browns, with the incident recorded and shared online by Well Off Media, a channel run by Deion Sanders Jr.
  • Other prospects, including Buffalo Bills sixth-round pick Chase Lundt, were also targeted, with Lundt receiving five prank calls before his selection.
  • The NFL faces mounting pressure to implement secure communication systems or procedural reforms to prevent similar incidents in future drafts.
