The Atlanta Falcons have been fined $250,000 (£187,000) by the NFL after Jax Ulbrich – the son of their defensive co-ordinator Jeff Ulbrich – prank called quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the NFL Draft.

Jeff Ulbrich has also personally been fined $100,000 (£75,000) for the incident, which the Falcons had said involved 21-year-old Jax Ulbrich getting Sanders’ number from an iPad when visiting his parents’ home and writing it down to “later conduct a prank call”.

In video footage on social media, Sanders can be heard taking a call from someone purporting to be the New Orleans Saints’ general manager Mickey Loomis.

The caller tells Sanders the Saints will make him their next pick before saying that he is going to “have to wait a little bit longer”.

Sanders – whose father Deion began his storied NFL career with the Falcons – ended up being selected by the Cleveland Browns as the sixth pick of the fifth round, and 144th overall.
