NFL fine Falcons and coach £262,000 for prank call
The Island
|May 02, 2025
The Atlanta Falcons have been fined $250,000 (£187,000) by the NFL after Jax Ulbrich - the son of their defensive co-ordinator Jeff Ulbrich - prank called quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the NFL Draft.

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.
