Shedeur Sanders fell victim to a prank call during the NFL Draft, prompting an investigation by the league.
The NFL is looking into the prank call that targeted Sanders while he awaited his draft fate. The prankster posed as Mickey Loomis, the GM of the New Orleans Saints, a team many expected to draft Sanders.
The incident raised concerns about the security of players' contact information, as only a select few should have access to it. The league is treating the matter seriously to prevent similar disruptions in the future.
The prank occurred during Day 2 of the draft while Sanders was celebrating with his family in Texas. A video of the call was shared on Deion Sanders Jr.'s YouTube channel, capturing the moment of confusion.
Despite the prank call, Sanders was eventually drafted by the Cleveland Browns on Day 3, putting an end to the draft day drama.
