BREAKING NEWSShedeur Sanders prank callers unmasked after NFL hopeful was trolled during draft humiliation

The prank callers who brutally trolled Shedeur Sanders by pretending they would select him in the NFL draft have appeared in a clip of the call online.

The ex-Colorado quarterback – son of NFL legend Deion Sanders – was widely expected to be a top-five pick in the class of 2025.

But, in a shocking turn of events this week, the ex-Colorado quarterback was pᴀssed over in rounds one, two and three of the draft.

Sanders thought his long slide had ended when he received a call, purportedly from general manager of the Saints, Mickey Loomis.

The quarterback was informed that he would be selected with New Orleans’ next pick, only to soon discover that the call was a hoax. ‘You’re going to have to wait a little longer,’ Sanders was told.

On Saturday, a clip of the prank callers was posted on social media. It showed a young man wearing an Ole Miss sweater calling Sanders.

His friend, who is sitting nearby on the couch, is left open-mouthed and has to walk away after hearing Sanders answer.

‘This is Mickey Loomis here, the GM of the New Orleans Saints, how are you doing?’ the caller asks Sanders, who replies: ‘Good, I’ve been waiting on you’

The prankster continues: ‘It’s been a long wait, man, (but) we are going to take you as our next pick right here.’

After Shedeur replies ‘that would be legendary’, he is told ‘you’re going to have to wait a little bit longer, man. Sorry about that!’

The caller then hangs up, prompting hysterical laughter among his friends. ‘Oh my God, he bought it!’ one could be heard shouting.

Sanders was left looking puzzled before realizing that he was a victim of a prank call. The moment was caught on the quarterback’s livestream of his draft party, which was swiftly cut off following the humiliation.
