Jax Ulbrich row: Shedeur Sanders to Tyler Warren – List of NFL draft prospects who received prank calls

Several other top NFL Draft prospects also reported receiving prank calls during the draft weekend. The NFL launched an investigation regarding the calls to determine whether a leak of private contact information of the players had occurred.

During Sanders’ live stream, he answered the call and placed it on speakerphone so that everyone watching could also hear it. He engaged with the imposter, who assured him that he would be picked next for the drafts. After the caller revealed that the call was a prank, Sanders was left confused and doubtful. Moments later, the Saints selected Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough instead.

“It didn’t really have an impact on me because it was just like, I mean, okay, like I don’t feed into negativity or I don’t feed into that stuff. You’ve seen [it on the] YouTube video. My reaction to it, I don’t – it is what it is. I think of course it is childish. Of course, I feel like it was a childish act, but everybody does childish things here and there,” Sanders told NBC Sports.
