Atlanta Falcons' Jeff Ulbrich's son admitted to prank calling QB Shedeur Sanders during the NFL Draft.
Jax Ulbrich found Sanders' number on an open iPad while visiting his parents.
Sanders expressed that he found the prank "childish" but it didn't impact him significantly.
The Falcons have taken steps to facilitate an apology from Jax Ulbrich to the Sanders family.

The Atlanta Falcons have publicly apologized to Shedeur Sanders following a prank call incident involving Jax Ulbrich, the son of the team's defensive coordinator, Jeff Ulbrich. During the NFL Draft, Ulbrich, 21, found Sanders' contact number on an open iPad and proceeded to prank call the young quarterback, impersonating New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis. In the call, he falsely informed Sanders he would be the Saints' next pick before cutting the conversation short, saying, "You're going to have to wait a little longer, man. Sorry about that," according to SFGate, CBS News, and BBC.
