In a statement, the Atlanta Falcons confirmed that Ulbrich made the call. The 21-year-old is the son of the team's defensive coordinator, Jeff Ulbrich.

He 'unintentionally came across the draft contact phone number for Shedeur Sanders off an open iPad while visiting his parents' home and wrote the number down to later conduct a prank call', the statement read.

“Jeff Ulbrich was unaware of the data exposure or any facets of the prank and was made aware of the above only after the fact. The Atlanta Falcons do not condone this behavior and send our sincere apologies to Shedeur Sanders and his family, who we have been in contact with to apologize to, as well as facilitate an apology directly from Jax to the Sanders family,” the Falcons further added.

The Atlanta Falcons stated that they have been in contact with the NFL and will cooperate with any inquiries. It is unclear what action will be taken.

“We are thoroughly reviewing all protocols, and updating if necessary, to help prevent an incident like this from happening again.”
