Giants rookie Abdul Carter is another player who was mischievous on draft night
Last Thursday, the 2025 NFL Draft was held in Green Bay, Wisconsin. One problem with the NFL entering this draft season is the prank call of external numbers.
Brown QB Shedeur Sanders received a prank call from Jax Ulbrich. Son of Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich. As a result, Atlanta was fined $250,000 by the NFL and Jeff Ulbrich was fined $100,000 by the Falcons. His son got Sanders' phone number from the iPad. During the draft, several top prospects were pranked. The latest to share their story is Giant Rookie Abdul Carter.
Abdul Carter reveals he is another player who has been mischievous in the draft
Rosenhaus added context to the Hey Rookie's reaction when the giants called in, which was 5:00. As Schoen said, the Giants didn't wait long despite the clocks on the TV broadcast. When he tells the draft room you can see the clock…

ESPN's Adam Shefter reported that Abdul Carter was another high-profile prospect, pranking on draft night. His agent Drew Rosenhaus said Carter received a prank call when the Jaguars scored with the second-ranked draft pick. The call told Carter that Jacksonville would pick him with the second pick. Rosenhouse said Carter and he knew the call was not real. A few minutes later, he received a call from the Giants and was ranked third overall.
Rosenhouse said it was “unfortunate” that these private numbers were leaking. The league is still investigating who plays a prank against Abdul Carter. His caller is not a prankster. It's a pity that these athletes have to deal with this behavior. They have been waiting for drafting their lives. The last thing that should have happened was that they received a prank call.
Fortunately for Abdul Carter, he is the next draft pick after a prank. For other players, this cannot be said the same. When the Jets were on the board of #7, the Colts Te Tyler Warren pranked. But, he was not selected until Indianapolis was selected in #14. The worst of them is Brown QB Shedeur Sanders. He made a prank in the second round and was not selected until the fifth round.
