Son of Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich found to have prank called Shedeur Sanders during NFL draft

The Atlanta Falcons released a statement Sunday stating that Jax Ulbrich, the son of defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, "unintentionally came across the contact phone number" for Shedeur Sanders and was behind a prank call the Colorado quarterback received on Friday.

"Earlier in the week, Jax Ulbrich, the 21-year-old son of defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, unintentionally came across the draft contact phone number for Shedeur Sanders off an open iPad while visiting his parent's home and wrote the number down to later conduct a prank call," the Falcons' 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.

"We have also been in contact with the NFL and will continue to cooperate fully with any inquiries we may receive from the NFL league office.

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