The NFL inflicted a fine of the Falcons for having authorized private information from Sanders – its mobile phone number – to be disclosed, and Ulbrich for its failed surveillance of a tablet that his son used to drag the information and make the farce call on Friday, when the second and third round were completed.

Jax Ulbrich pretended to be the Director General of the Saints Mickey Loomis and first told Sanders that he would be the next choice of saints to say that Sanders would have to continue to wait.
“It was a long wait, guy”, the voice of Jax Ulbrich was captured by telling Sanders in a video of the call. “We’re going to take you with our next choice, guy, but you’re going to have to wait a little longer, guy. Sorry for that.”
When the choice has never come, Sanders did not be drafted in the fifth round and was selected by the Browns of Cleveland with the choice n ° 144.
He said that in a media teleconference, the farce call had no impact on him.

“We appreciate the quick and in -depth examination of the NFL of the exposure to last week data and the event that happened because of this,” Falcons said in an official statement on Wednesday after the League made the fine. “We have been proactive to approach the situation internally and cooperate fully with the league throughout the process, and accept the discipline taken to train Jeff Ulbrich and the organization. We are confident in our security policies and practices and will continue to focus on membership of them with our staff, whether on or out of the premises.
Jeff Ulbrich was acting head coach from the New York Jets at the end of last season and played the second in the NFL.
He was hired in January by the Falcons head coach, Raheem Morris, to become a defensive coordinator, replacing Jimmy Lake.
Before the colts used the overall choice n ° 14 to write Tyler Warren from Penn State, he said that he was also the victim of a farce call. According to information, the league was informed of the choice of the Browns in the first round Mason Graham, the quarterrier of Steelers Kyle McCord and other prospects receiving similar calls while waiting to be drafted.
