Sanders was on the receiving end of a bogus phone call on Day 2 of the event … with a male pretending to be New Orleans Saints owner Mickey Loomis hitting the ex-Colorado quarterback’s private line and telling him he’d have to wait a bit longer before getting picked.
It was eventually revealed Ulbrich’s son, Jax, got hold of a list of prospects’ numbers that was sent out to teams prior to the draft … and he was spotted witnessing the call in a video that circulated on social media.

Jax later apologized for his role … and said he called Sanders to express his regret.
The Falcons echoed Jax’s remorse … and said they would cooperate with the league’s investigation into the matter.
