After a clip of the person pranking Shedeur Sanders into believing he talked with the New Orleans Saints general manager, Mickey Loomis, the person behind the cruel idea showed themselves.
Sanders wasn't the only victim of a tasteless prank by a person wearing an Ole Miss sweatshirt and the NFL is now getting involved in this matter.
On Sunday, Jax Ulbrich, a 21-year-old son of Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, shared an Instagram post in which he took responsibility for the prank call on Sanders on April 25.
"Hello everyone, I would like to apologize on my behalf of the prank call that was to Shadeur Sanders on draft day," Ulbrich wrote in his Instagram post. "I realize that this is nothing to joke about and it was simply just a mistake of me being dumb. To the Sanders family, Im asking for forgiveness. Everyone makes mistakes and this just happened to be mine. So so sorry."

More details about this situation surfaced after Jax Ulbrich confessed and apologized. Fans called for Jeff Ulbrich to be fired over this situation, even after the Falcons announced they wouldn't punish the coordinator over his son's actions.
Additionally, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that Penn State tight end Tyler Warren was also prank-called during the draft. The pass catcher was called from a number of the same area code involved in the Sanders prank when the New York Jets were on the clock at No. 7.
"The NFL now says it is reviewing a prank call that targeted tight end Tyler Warren during the draft," Schultz tweeted.
Warren didn't have the same experience as Sanders. He was drafted seven picks later after the Jets selected Armand Membou.
The Colorado Buffaloes quarterback saw the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins, Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers pass up on him. The Cleveland Browns used their final pick, at No. 144, to select Sanders.
This situation is still developing and the story will be updated once the NFL makes a final decision.
