NFL fines Atlanta Falcons, Jeff Ulbrich over Shedeur Sanders call

The National Football League has fined the Atlanta Falcons and assistant coach Jeff Ulbrich after Ulbrich’s son admitted to prank-calling prospective quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the NFL draft. 

An NFL spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News that the Falcons were fined $250,000 and Ulbrich was fined $100,000 “for failing to prevent the disclosure of confidential information distributed to the club in advance of the NFL Draft.” 

Sanders, who played for Colorado, was expected to be drafted between third overall and the early second round, but was not drafted until the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns. The call took place between the second and third rounds.  

Jax Ulbrich, 21, later apologized for his actions, calling them “completely inexcusable, embarrassing, and shameful.”
