An NFL defensive coordinator is suspected of leaking Shedeur Sanders’ number following the wicked prank call the quarterback received on Day 2 of this weekend’s draft.
The NFL’s selection period is over, with the Cleveland Browns ending the most controversial slide in draft history by picking Sanders 144th overall in the fifth round.
However, the former Colorado star thought he was going to the New Orleans Saints a lot earlier when he received a call during his Twitch live stream on Friday night.
Sanders was completely duped, telling the person on the other end it’s going to be “legendary” before he was told he’d have to wait a bit longer and the line went dead. He was puzzled as to how his number could have gotten out there, given he’d gotten it specifically for the draft.
Jeff Ulbrich Could Be On The Hook For Epic Shedeur Sanders Moment
It’s now believed that Atlanta Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich could be responsible for the leak, as someone who looks a lot like his son, Jax Ulbrich, was spotted in the room while the prank was hatching.

Jax has also since deleted his Instagram page since the story broke.
Ulbrich spent last season as the interim head coach of the New York Jets, finishing with a 3-9 record after taking over the reins following Robert Saleh’s firing.
While he might not have purposely leaked the number, he could face repercussions should it turn out that he was the one responsible for such an invasion of privacy.
