Earlier this week, the Falcons publicly admitted that the younger Ulbrich came across the draft phone number for Sanders on an unlocked iPad while visiting his parents' home. He made a note of it and then used it for a prank call. The college student later owned up to his mistake and took to social media to apologize.

Indianapolis Colts selection Tyler Warren and Philadelphia Eagles draft pick Kyle McCord both said they received prank calls during the 2025 NFL draft. ESPN's Stephen Holder reported that there are "believed to be others" who received prank calls during the draft.

Shedeur Sanders wasn't the only one to receive a prank call during the 2025 NFL draft. On the list of victims was Buffalo Bills sixth-round pick, Chase Lundt.
