BREAKING NEWSNFL coach Jeff Ulbrich's son confesses to cruel Shedeur Sanders draft prank call as he begs for forgiveness

Jax Ulbrich, the son of Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, has confessed to prank calling Shedeur Sanders during the NFL Draft.

Sanders, who was selected in the fifth round of the draft by the Cleveland Browns, was left waiting throughout Thursday and Friday without hearing his name getting called.

However, he did receive a phone call from someone on a phone with a number that Sanders only gave to higher-up NFL personnel. That call was a prank.

Jax released a statement on his Instagram account confessing to being the person behind the call.

‘On Friday night I made a tremendous mistake,’ Jax posted. ‘Shedeur, what I did was completely inexcusable, embarrᴀssing, and shameful.

‘I’m so sorry I took away from your moment, it was selfish and childish. I could never imagine getting ready to celebrate one of the greatest moments of you life and I made a terrible mistake and messed with that moment.’

Jax then went on to reveal that he and Sanders spoke on the phone before concluding, ‘I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.’ 

After Jax’s statement went live, the Atlanta Falcons released a statement of their own.

‘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 iPad while visiting his parent’s home and wrote the number down to later conduct a prank call,’ the team’s statement began.

‘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.’
