Shedeur Sanders’ NFL draft prank callers appear to reveal themselves in new video

The Shedeur Sanders prank callers appear to have revealed themselves.

After video of the quarterback’s end of a cruel joke informing Sanders he had been drafted by the Saints appeared on Friday, what looks like the other side of the call was posted the next day.

What appears to be a few Ole Miss students instigated the prank, calling Sanders and impersonating Saints general manager Mickey Loomis.

Appearing to read from a script, the caller identifies himself as Loomis.

“It’s been a long wait, man,” he says. “We’re gonna take you with our next pick right here, man.”

After Sanders appears to reply, the caller says, “But you’re gonna have to wait a little bit longer, man. Sorry about that.” The video then shows him hanging up and the room breaking into laughter.

“He bought it!” exclaims one of the kids in the room.

While the video is unverified, it fits with the video of Sanders’ end of the call, which shows the same dialogue.

“What does that mean?” Sanders asks after the phone hangs up, before realizing the phone call was fake.

Sanders’ two-day slide did finally come to an end on Saturday afternoon when the Browns traded up for the 144th overall pick to take the Colorado quarterback in the fifth round.

That will at least be some reprieve after what’s been a hugely embarrᴀssing 48 hours for Sanders, who was at one point talked about as a potential first overall pick.

“Thank you GOD,” Sanders posted on X after his name was finally called.

He also celebrated his selection by dancing with brother Shilo and cannonballing in the family pool.

Sanders is the second quarterback the Browns took in this draft after Dillon Gabriel.
