There were some exciting things in the draft for every Colorado Buffaloes fan. The 2024 Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter warned the teams about making a mistake. And the Jaguars traded up to 2nd position by swapping with the Browns and grabbed him. The biggest talking point was their quarterback, Shedeur Sanders.

His slides didn’t stop until the 5th round when the Browns drafted him 144th overall. For the young boy, it was embarrassing, as his haters mocked him. One of them even prank called him, appearing to draft him. However, amid all the drama about the draft, we missed one major point.

Buffs coach Deion Sanders Coach Prime did embody his name (Prime) with a unique draft feat. They had the highest number of wide receivers (3) selected in the draft out of any college football team. It’s an impressive feat. His youngest son shared the news in an Instagram story, where he also praised his father with 1 word, “Legendary.”

After Travis Hunter in the first round (2nd overall), Ravens drafted LaJohntay Wester in the 6th round (number 203 overall) and the Panthers drafted Jimmy Horn Jr. in the 6th round (208th overall). With three selections, the school was on top. But the coach was concerned for the first two draft days.

While the ex-NFLer was happy about his players, his son’s draft made him anxious. When Shedeur Sanders was not getting drafted, a video showed the father-son duo talking when he said, “I know what’s going on. I like to have hope and I trust God.” However, everything ended well.

The Buccaneers also signed his elder son, Safety Shilo Sanders, as an undrafted free agent. As the Packers legend Brett Favre puts it, “It’s what you do when your # is called that matters, not when you were taken.” There were some other revelations as well.

Shedeur Sanders receives an apology for the prank call

Shedeur had a tough draft. When he went undrafted until the fourth round, he was understandably disappointed. To make matters worse, someone prank-called him, pretending to be the Saints’ GM. Later, it was revealed that the person behind the prank was a friend of Jax Ulbrich, the 21-year-old son of Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich.

Jax got Shedeur’s number from an open iPad while visiting his father’s home and wrote it down. However, on Sunday, April 27, Jax called Shedeur and apologized for the entire incident. Things are starting to look up for the young signal-caller.

He also wrote on Instagram, “Shedeur, what I did was completely inexcusable, embarrassing and shameful. I’m so sorry I took away from your moment, it was selfish and childish. Thank you for accepting my call earlier today. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.” They called Shedeur Sanders before the 40th overall pick by the Saints GM Mickey Loomis.

The interesting part was that he received the call on the phone given one day before, with number given to only NFL teams. But the Saints drafted the Luisville QB Tyler Shough instead. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski was angry, calling such people ‘moron.’

Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich has promised full cooperation to the NFL authorities over this matter. The franchise also issued an apology. But it does put a question mark on how much the NFL policies are actually followed. Colts tight end Tyler Warren, the 14th overall pick, also received a similar call at no. 7 pick by the Jets. Was Jax Ulbrich behind that as well? It’s a mystery.
