NFL Investigates Prank Calls Targeting Shedeur Sanders During Draft

The NFL is conducting an investigation into a series of prank calls received by quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the draft. The incident saw Sanders receiving calls from an individual impersonating New Orleans Saints GM Mickey Loomis, which was broadcast live, leading to widespread media coverage and fan reactions. Reports indicate that the prank was not an isolated case, as another player, Tyler Warren, was also targeted in a similar manner during the draft. This controversy has sparked discussions about the leaking of personal information, with fans and analysts expressing their outrage regarding the treatment of players during the draft process. Despite these challenges, Sanders was ultimately selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round, although the circumstances surrounding his draft experience have drawn criticism and concern about the decorum in what is typically an exciting time for prospects.
