ATLANTA – The Atlanta Falcons have disclosed that the prank call on Shedeur Sanders was pulled off by the son of defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich.
According to a new statement by the Falcons, Ulbrich’s 21-year-old son, Jax, “unintentionally” came across the number.
The team says Jax Ulbrich “unintentionally came across the draft contact phone number” that he saw on an “open iPad” while he was visiting his parents, according to NBC Sports.
Jax then wrote down the number for a prank call. The Falcons say Jeff Ulbrich was not aware of what his son was planning.
