Falcons | ATL fined after prank call saga Wed Apr 30, 11:43 AM
Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was fined $100,000, and the team was fined $250,000 for the fraudulent phone call made to QB Shedeur Sanders at the NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Ulbrich's 21-year-old son admitted to the prank call and apologized in an Instagram post Sunday. The Falcons said in a statement Sunday that Jax Ulbrich wrote down the number from his father's open iPad while visiting his parents' home "to later conduct a prank call." The NFL said the fines were for "failing to prevent the disclosure of confidential information distributed to the club in advance of the NFL Draft." The Falcons noted that "the Ulbrich family is working with the organization to participate in community service initiatives in relation to last week's matter." Sanders, who had been widely expected to be selected in the first round before the NFL draft started, had to wait until Day 3 of the draft for his slide to end when the Cleveland Browns picked him in the fifth round. In a conference call with Cleveland-area reporters after the Browns drafted him, Sanders said he wasn't bothered by the prank. |
