“It’s a shame these private numbers have reached people calling for pranks,” Carter’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN. “Abdul and I knew it was BS so we didn’t even talk to his family about the phone.”
The Giants called Real’s name on the next pick, so Carter didn’t have to wait long after the prank. But he wasn’t the only one dealing with pranks on draft day.
Several others had to deal with the fake phone calls, but they weren’t as public as Chedure Sanders.
Some NFL Draft outlooks fall victim to a prank call unrelated to Shedeur Sanders Prank: Report
The NFL announced Wednesday that the Atlanta Falcons had fined defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbric a $100,000 fine for the leak of Sanders’ private phone number used for draft day calls.
Ulbric’s son, 21, Jax, 21, was at the heart of Sanders’ prank call. The Falcons announced in a statement that “unintentionally stumbled upon the contact phone number of Chedur Sanders from an iPad that was opened while visiting the parent’s home, and later wrote the number to make a plank call.”

It wasn’t Jacks who called Sanders, but one of his friends pretended to be Mickey Loomis, the general manager of the New Orleans Saints.
Jax later announced an apology on social media, saying, “What I did was completely forgiven, embarrassing and shameful.”

NFL.com noted that league memos send players’ phone numbers each year and are marked “confidential.” They are sent to the general managers, head coaches and player HR managers of all teams. That’s everything.
The report added that all owners, head coaches and GMs must prove in writing that no violations have been committed, such as “sharing private information.”
