The Atlanta Falcons have been fined $250,000 and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has been fined $100,000 as the result of Ulbrich's son participating in a prank call to Shedeur Sanders during the NFL draft. The NFL has confirmed the fines for the roles by the Falcons and Ulbrich in failing to prevent the disclosure of confidential information distributed to the club in advance of the NFL draft.

The Falcons released a statement saying 21-year-old Jax Ulbrich "unintentionally" found Sanders' phone number on an open iPad while visiting his parent's home and later made the prank call.

He had to wait until the fifth round, but Shedeur Sanders, son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders — his coach at the University of Colorado — has finally been drafted by the NFL.
