The NFL inflicted a fine of $ 250,000 on the Falcons of Atlanta and the defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich $ 100,000 in response to Ulbrich’s farce’s call made to Shedeur Sanders during the NFL recovery.
Ulbrich’s 21 -year -old son admitted the farce call and apologized in an Instagram position on Sunday. The Falcons said in a statement on Sunday that Jax Ulbrich wrote his father’s open iPad number during the visit of his parents’ house “to lead a farce call later”.
The NFL said that fines were to “do not prevent the disclosure of confidential information distributed to the club before the NFL project”.
The Falcons said in a press release: “We appreciate the rapid and in -depth examination of the NFL of the exposure to data from last week and the event that occurred because of this. We were proactive to approach the situation internally and cooperated fully with the League throughout the process, and accept the discipline taken for Jeff Ulbrich training and the organization. administration. “
Falcons added that “the Ulbrich family is working with the organization to participate in community service initiatives concerning last week”.
While Sanders continued to wait until his name was called day 2 of the project on Friday, a video surfaced on the social networks of the former quarter-arre of Colorado receiving a call from someone who came the director general of New Orleans, Mickey Loomis.
The appellant told Sanders: “We’re going to take you with our next choice, guy, but you will have to wait a little longer, guy. Sorry for that.”
A confused Sanders asked the crowd gathered for its celebration project, “What does that mean?”
Jax Ulbrich wrote in his article that he did was “completely inexcusable, embarrassing and shameful”. He said Sanders had accepted his call earlier.
“I’m really sorry to have removed your moment, it was selfish and childish,” said Jax Ulbrich in his Instagram post. “I could never imagine preparing myself to celebrate one of the greatest moments of your life and I made a terrible mistake and I played with this moment. Thank you for accepting my call earlier in the day, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.”
Sanders, who was to be widely selected in the first round before the start of the NFL draft, had to wait until day 3 of the draft for his slide ends when the Browns of Cleveland chose it in the fifth round.
During a conference call with journalists from the Cleveland region after being drafted by the Browns, Sanders said that he was not disturbed by the farce.
“It didn’t really have any impact on me,” said Sanders, “because it was like, I mean, ok, as I did not feed on negativity, or I am not interested in this kind of thing.
