A prank call has resulted in a very real punishment for the Falcons and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich. The NFL has announced that it has fined the team $250,000 and Ulbrich $100,000 "for failing to prevent the disclosure of confidential information distributed to the club in advance of the NFL Draft.

The NFL didn’t wait long to hit the Falcons with fines for a prank phone call to Shedeur Sanders. The NFL fined Atlanta $250,000 and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich $100,000, according to NFL Media, for the call made by 21-year-old Jax Ulbrich and a friend.

Earlier this week, the Falcons publicly admitted that the younger Ulbrich came across the draft phone number for Sanders on an unlocked iPad while visiting his parents' home. He made a note of it and then used it for a prank call. The college student later owned up to his mistake and took to social media to apologize.
