The plot thickens!
Some knuckleheads decided to have fun with the legendary Shadeur Sanders.
The NFL is investigating the incident.
Correction: The post originally stated the perp was an Ole Miss student. He is not a student but was merely wearing an Ole Miss sweatshirt.

Callous but typical
Since he didn't go to Ole Miss he's not one of the good "boys" so he's fair game. Maybe he thought he was big s..t. Leave it to Ole Miss and the NFL owners to put the boy and his uppity dad back in their place.
This shit is not funny at all. I pray that OLE MISS will kick you ass out of school.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! NOT FUNNY!
It is actually pretty funny. Not cool, but funny. No harm to anyone, but probably a minute piece of humble pie for Deion’s entitled child.
There is an old saying, "If you don't want any business, don't advertise". Advertising your self as the next big thing is fine as long as you are the next big thing. The Sanders boy may be a great athlete but running your mouth and acting like you're some star can be a problem if you aren't the real deal. The word to remember is humility. I doubt this word is spoken very much in his household.
Ole Miss grad here. 1988 when we used to wave rebel flags. What they did in that video was downright shitty. I wouldn’t kick them out for being assholes. I would kick them out for live streaming their idiocy. Mom must be proud.
2:08. Uppity. A word only used by pre-1950 racists. Nice.
Took it to mean he was knocking the frat boys when he placed boys in quotes, hence he was describing how the good ole boys see the Sanders family .
NFL has called for an investigation!
It was not an Ole Miss student. People need to reserve passing judgment until the facts r in . GEEZ
Ole Miss frats can treat a great black athlete like a king....if you go to Ole Miss. However, if you are not a great black athlete going to Ole Miss or not, who the hell are you? Nothing by damn!
douchebag punk
Way to jam your dad up at work, you little shit. I hope he gets an ass-whipping.
I am no fan of Sanders, but what these guys (this Ole Miss grad is thankful he was not an Ole Miss student) did was too far. Also, the reports of other players being prank called last year and this year is also stupid. Best way I know to describe it is classless. Kid's parents would do well to sign the kids up for a mission trip to a third world country for a week this summer. That might change their life forever.
Anyone who names his son Jax should be punched in the gonads.
Get Daddy fired because you are 21 and aren't smart enough to buy a vowel?
WINNING!
Apparently no one here appreciates a good prank call. When I kick off my stand up career, I hope I never look out and see any of your dour faces in the audience.
There are some soft people out there. Get over it. It was a goofy prank. All the Sanders bunch are far too self important and arrogant. Oh yeah, he's a great athlete. Him and thousands of other guys who get drafted to play sports every year. Nothing special.
Lol, that’s was funny. You football people are really sensitive and soft.
What 2:50 posted times 100!
If this family can inundate us with their self-important bullshit all year long for four years, what's the big deal if they get a dose of it once?
So, was it Ole Miss frat guys? Or the son of an Atlanta Falcon coach? If the answer is both, I am very disappointed in that frat for taking a Falcons kid in the first place. Must have been a shitty fraternity. Hopefully coach gets fired and kids get expelled.
I think this too funny ... and I'm a MSU alum.
Did his Royal Highness "Prince Prime" actually fall for this prank?
This isn't quite as bad as ruining that poor girl's reputation a while back, but this sort of stunt seems all the rage at Ole Miss.
The boy is another Johnny Manziel, nothing more, nothing less. But, more importantly, he (and his daddy) are a huge liability for any team where he warms the pine.
This has nothing to do with this prank call but it's amazing how JSU wants credit for Shedeur and Travis getting drafted. Remind you JSU fans were outraged when these players and Deion left for Colorado. JSU..You guys are a freaking joke. Hell Deion put you guys back on the map anyway.
It’s a prank call, people. It didn’t affect the outcome of any decisions being made. It might’ve hurt Shadure’s feelings. Give me a break. This whole idea of being Woke has rubbed off on you idiots.
How is it that JSU forgot they fell off the map when....
H Jackson '14 - '15 rec 6-11
T Hughes. '16 - '18 rec 9-20
J Hendricks '18 - '20 rec 6-9
Then Back on map
D Sanders '20-'22 rec 27-6
TC Taylor - Whatever
Lighten up, Francis.
This is America. We don’t hurt feelings here. That's not who we are, neither as a nation nor as a people. It runs counter to our sacred democracy. There is no place in America for conduct of this ilk. The Founders, with their far-reaching vision of a society where no feelings get hurt, would be ashamed of this prank, as would your mother and father as well as Hollywood celebrities and YouTube influencers. America must do better on important questions such as this.
Deion was their Agent. They’re not to be taken seriously. Of course they wouldn’t deny him that position. He’s why they are good athletes. The other son fired him today and hired a real agent. I wouldn’t doubt if pops was gonna charge them more than a well qualified agent. Content of character means so much. Being funny helps though. Prank calling someone is not a big deal. Some people sell recordings of prank calls. The term for this behavior is comedy. Some of you folks are just shallow to think this is a big deal.
" It might’ve hurt Shadure’s feelings"
Well, if this Sander's boy is that sensitive ... he has no business in the NFL .
Agreed that this conduct is unacceptable....but no one is responsible for anyone else's "feelings". That's a manipulation that's been force fed through the media for decades.
@9:41 but you will rage if the fratboy takes a beating for his shenanigans
I guess I'm not surprised that " Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You" is seldom considered these days when being a mean spirited bully is in fashion.
I think that kid lacks class, compassion, and brains. However, we see this type of behavior on late night shows, and other venues quite frequently. Entertainers make fun of others, and audiences roll over laughing without thinking of the harm that is being done people. For example, skits on Saturday Night Live are brutal in many cases. Jokes told at the White House correspondents’ dinner can be very painful to others. This is not to justify what this stupid kid did, but to just suggest this type of behavior is prevalent in our country. It is very sad.
Meh...this dumpster fire has been fun to watch. The only reason Dieon got into coaching college was to pimp his sons. Pump them up and make them look better than they are in hopes they would get drafted high and make a large payday. They are all about themselves. Dieon is all about Dieon. Didn't he have a film crew to follow him around while at JSU? Now he's retired his son's jersey at Colorado for basically a winning season. He didn't even win a bowl game there. Yes, he's an athlete, but he looks better than he is at sub-par schools in sub-par conferences. The NFL knows this, as well as they don't want to have to deal with his dad. The whole thing, the watch party studio, the signatures, money signs, rap songs, it's a f'ing clown show and no one wants to bring that to their program. Except for the Browns....and if you know, you know.
News articles contradict this initial account, indicating that Jax did not make the call but gave the number to a friend who made the call.
Social media encourage pranks. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
All true.
Self confidence can be an admirable trait, arrogance is not. Hopefully, young Mr. Sanders will learn from this very humbling experience, and become better man. From what I read, his attitude had a great deal to do with why he was not picked by many teams. I’m hoping the best for him.
A young man grows up in a rich and famous family with a dad who might be the greatest two sport athlete of all time. He gets coached by his dad as a pee-wee and high school all-American and never gets challenged as a player. Makes millions while still in college lives the charmed life and has the full attention of the sports world before playing a down of pro football. Now are we a bunch of fat, underpaid, untalented, non-athlete white slobs going to be hurting when he gets a little embarrassed by a stupid prank on his way to making his millions? Wait for it.
Personally, I think the prank call was in poor taste, but I'm in my 60s. When I was in college, I can totally see me and my friends doing something just like this. It did not affect Mr. Sanders' draft status in any way. Contrast the affect of the anonymous person who posted a photo of Laremy Tunsil during the first round a few years back. THAT was truly damaging to his draft position and cost him millions.
It's amazing that he has all of this success without an ounce of assistance from Chowke.
Shedeur issue started here at Jackson State when kid got killed a block away from where he was... combined with NIL. He hasn't gone to an in person class since and is living in a bubble of NIL decisions. NIL decisions give you great positive feedback but doesn't create NFL leader, I hate it for the kid but the Browns may be that gift from God..
To all you haters who think because he has reason to be arrogant he must be as big an idiot as you would be, have you checked out his reaction to this cruel prank? Have you checked out his reaction to the NFL's kick in the ass he got on draft day(s)? If anyone acts arrogant it's the NFL owners who let him know no matter his talent he's really nobody. If anybody acted entitled it's the frat boy brat who thought he can play any joke on any ole black athlete with no consequences. When he was at JSU the young Sanders certainly had his privilege but neither he nor Travis was disrespectful or refused to work hard for what they got. Back off haters.
Hell! We used to use the phone in the hallway, call the local cab company and request a taxi at one of the houses near our house. Then we'd run outside, climb the TV antenna and lay down on the peak of the roof and watch the cab pull up and blow the horn...while trying to imagine the conversation over at that house.
Prank calls are part of growing up. Get the fuck over it.
Although I don't buy the story about finding dad's tablet open to Sanders' phone number.
If you want to know why he went so low in the NFL draft watch the movie Draft Day with Kevin Costner and pay attention to the blonde high-rated quarterback character. .
Apparently the two previous replies missed sarcasm day in school.
6:00 PM - Except when a prank call results in over a quarter of a million dollars in fines. If you were on the paying end of that kind of cash would you "get the fuck over it"? I don't believe I would.
The team was fined $250,000 and Jeff Ulbrich was fined $100,000 for leaving his iPad unlocked. Ouch.
There are roughly 1700 players in the NFL. Haven’t we heard enough about one, recently drafted player? I’m Shedured out…
