Shedeur Sanders was the victim of an elaborate prank during day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft, and we are not talking about the Browns passing him over in favor of Dillon Gabriel, only to take him the next day. It so happened that the Colorado quarterback was waiting for a call from a willing general manager when his phone rang. It turned out to be someone saying that he would have to wait some more time, and not an executive calling him to deliver good news.
It later emerged that it was apparently a group of Ole Miss frat boys who had gotten hold of his number. Their colleague, Jaxson Dart, was selected by the Giants, and given that there was a question pre-draft that he was competing directly with the Colorado quarterback, it kind of answered the question of what their intentions were.
However, what was not immediately clear was how they got Shedeur Sanders’ number. These details are supposed to be confidential, and generally only team principals and executives are privy to them. The internet got sleuthing and found out that the Giants’ general manager’s daughter goes to Ole Miss. Joe Schoen certainly had the Colorado quarterback’s number, and fans are openly postulating that it must be his child, Sydney, who was responsible for the leak.
