Colts Draft Pick Believes He was Also Targeted by Shedeur Sanders’ Prank Caller

The Indianapolis Colts could not have been more excited with the player they were able to get in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft. Tyler Warren, the star tight end from Penn State, was the pick at No. 14 overall.

While he landed with the Colts, Warren was the target of a prank call. He thought he was going to be picked at No. 7 to the New York Jets.



Of course, there has been a viral story about the son of Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich prank calling Shedeur Sanders during the draft. Warren believes he was targeted by the same group who pranked Sanders.According to a report from Fox Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Warren believes it was the same number or area code involved with Sanders.

"Sources: Penn State TE Tyler Warren was also prank called during the draft, receiving a call when the Jets were on the clock at No. 7," Schultz wrote. "I’m told Warren’s camp believes it was the same number and/or area code involved in the Shedeur Sanders prank on Friday night.

NFL teams have access to these numbers, and it’s clear someone passed it along — whether to family or friends. Just so cruel."Sources: Penn State TE Tyler Warren was also prank called during the draft, receiving a call when the #Jets were on the clock at No.

The Colts badly needed a tight end and the former Penn State standout should be the starter right off the bat.During the 2024 college football season, Warren caught 104 passes for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns. The NFL will need to look into how to fix this situation in the future.

Clearly, this was a much bigger deal than just one player being pranked by kids who didn't know any better. There are now at least two who believe it was the same person or people.Related: Pittsburgh Steelers Receive Shade from Draft Expert About Will Howard.
