The son of Atlanta Falcons’ defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has apologized for a prank call made to Shedeur Sanders on Friday as he waited to be picked in the NFL Draft.
The son of Atlanta Falcons’ defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has apologized for a prank call made to Shedeur Sanders on Friday as he waited to be picked in the NFL draft. Originally one of the NFL’s most-touted draft prospects, Sanders received a call – allegedly from the general manager of the New Orleans Saints – as he waited anxiously to learn which NFL team would select him. But the call turned out to be a prank. Jax Ulbrich, the Falcons coach’s son, took to Instagram on Sunday to issue a public apology. “On Friday night I made a tremendous mistake. Sheduer (sic), what I did was completely inexcusable, embarrassing, and shameful,” Ulbrich wrote. “I’m so sorry I took away from your moment, it was selfish and childish. I could never imagine getting ready to celebrate one of the greatest moments of your life and I made a terrible mistake and messed with that moment. Thank you for accepting my call earlier today, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.” Sanders, who played for the University of Colorado and is the son of Colorado coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, could not be reached for comment. He also has not yet reacted to the development on social media.
