The Atlanta Falcons and their defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich faced fines due to a prank call incident involving Ulbrich’s son, which violated the confidentiality of NFL draft information. Jax Ulbrich accessed Shedeur Sanders' contact information from an open iPad at his parents' home and wrote it down, leading to a prank call made by a friend during the draft. The Falcons acknowledged the breach and cooperated with the NFL's investigation, accepting the imposed penalties and committing to better security practices. Jax Ulbrich and the Falcons apologized to Sanders, and the Ulbrich family plans to engage in community service as part of their response to the incident. The NFL is still looking into other prank calls made during the draft, although the call to Sanders is considered unrelated to those other incidents.

The Atlanta Falcons were fined $250,000 and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was fined $100,000 after Ulbrich's son, Jax, participated in a prank call to Shedeur Sanders during the NFL draft.

Jax Ulbrich discovered Sanders' contact information on an iPad at his parents' home and passed it to a friend, who made the prank call as Sanders awaited his draft selection.

The Falcons issued a statement expressing their cooperation with the NFL's investigation and their acceptance of the penalties, emphasizing their commitment to reinforcing security protocols.

Both Jax Ulbrich and the Falcons offered apologies to Shedeur Sanders and his family, with Jax issuing a public apology via social media.

The NFL is continuing its investigation into other prank calls made during the draft, but the call to Shedeur Sanders is not believed to be connected to these other incidents.

Shedeur Sanders, a promising quarterback and son of former Falcon Deion Sanders, was selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns after expecting a first-round pick.

The Ulbrich family, as part of taking responsibility, is planning to engage in community service initiatives to address the incident and its repercussions.
