Jeff Ulbrich has also personally been fined $100,000 (£75,000) for the incident, which the Falcons had said involved 21-year-old Jax Ulbrich getting Sanders' number from an iPad when visiting his parents' home and writing it down to "later conduct a prank call".

In video footage on social media, Sanders can be heard taking a call from someone purporting to be the New Orleans Saints’ general manager Mickey Loomis.
