While waiting to finally hear his name called, Sanders was prank called by someone pretending to be Saints GM Mickey Loomis. Turns out the prankster was the son of Falcons' defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, who had to apologize after the fact. Yikes.

Plenty of people have put their public support behind Sanders (none more than Mel Kiper Jr. on ESPN's Draft broadcast), and he got a surprisingly motivational pep talk from another Sanders on social media over the weekend, as KFC's Colonel Sanders had some words of wisdom for him.

Sanders declared for the draft following a remarkable college career. He spent his first two seasons at Jackson State under the coaching of his father, Deion Sanders. When Deion transitioned to become the head coach at Colorado, Shedeur followed him, serving as the starting quarterback for two additional seasons.
