The NFL has plunged a high fine to the Atlanta Falcons after a phone prank on Quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the draft.
The Atlanta Falcons have to pay $ 250,000, and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich is prosecuted with $ 100,000 – because his son was involved in the call to Sanders.
Ulbrich’s son Jax had come to Sanders’ phone number, a friend of Jax then spoke out as General Manager of New Orleans Saints and said that he would take Sanders with the 40th pick in the NFL. “But you will have to wait a little longer. I’m sorry,” the caller finally said and put on.
Sanders remained perplexed – and was later selected in position 144 by the Cleveland Browns. A video of the call spread on social media.
Bitter NFL Draft for Shedeur Sanders
The NFL justified the punishment by failing to “prevent the disclosure of confidential information that was transmitted to the franchise in the run -up to the NFL draft”.
Shedeur Sanders, son of “Primetime” Deion Sanders, was selected much later than many experts expected. The 23-year-old has had an excellent college season for the University of Colorado Boulder. He threw for 4134 YARD’s room win, posted 37 touchdown passes at ten interceptions, but still had to wait a long time and was selected among the talents as the sixth quarterback.
From 1989 to 2006 Deion Sanders had played as a cornerback and wide receiver in the NFL. In 1995 the football star won the Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers, in 1996 with the Dallas Cowboys again. Today is the 57-year-old coach of the college team Colorado Buffaloes.
