Jeff Ulbrich

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Falcons will take no action against DC Jeff Ulbrich for his son’s role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call debacle.

One day after the 2025 NFL Draft concluded, NFL media reported en masse that Ulbrich’s son, Jax, was involved in the prank call made to Sanders during the former Colorado quarterback’s draft-day(s) slide. The Falcons organization then released a public statement, sending “sincere apologies” to the entire Sanders family. For those concerned that the father might be punished for the sins of the son, the Falcons let it be known that the organization “will not take any action against their defensive coordinator.” This is a smart move for a team that intends to field a strong defense. Schefter adds that the Falcons “are continuing to review their protocols to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again.” We believe it is safe to assume that all team-issued iPads will be safely locked with six-digit codes and/or facial recognition technology moving forward.
