On Friday night, Shedeur Sanders was pranked when someone obtained his phone number, which was only shared in an email thread sent by the NFL to teams. During a conversation with his brother Shiloh, Shedeur speculated that the leak could have come from someone associated with the NFL, though he noted it might have been an unauthorized act by a family member. At his introductory press conference with the Browns, Shedeur dismissed the prank as childish, emphasizing that it did not affect him, and highlighted the need for the NFL to tighten its procedures to prevent future incidents.
