During the NFL draft, rookie Abdul Carter got a prank call claiming he would be selected second overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars, but they instead picked Travis Hunter. Carter's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, stated that they recognized the call as a prank. The incident is amid the NFL's investigation into multiple prank calls to players, including a notable case involving the Atlanta Falcons, which resulted in fines due to a related prank perpetrated by a team member's family.
"It's unfortunate that these private numbers are getting to the people making the prank calls," Rosenhaus told Schefter. "Abdul and I knew it was B.S. and didn't even tell his family about the call."
The NFL fined the Atlanta Falcons $250,000 and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich $100,000 on Wednesday after Ulbrich's son made a prank call to now-Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the NFL draft.
