The Prankster Behind Shedeur Sanders Hoax Hazes Out
After the amusing video of a cruel joke on Shedeur Sanders, the quarterback, went viral on Friday, the next day brought a twist. It seems the culprits behind the prank have broken their silence.
Social media is buzzing with news about the prank call that fooled Sanders into believing he was drafted by the Saints. A video, allegedly from the pranksters' side of the call, unearthed on Saturday, suggests a group of Ole Miss students orchestrated the joke.
Posing as Saints general manager Mickey Loomis, they read from a script, claiming they were about to draft Sanders. Unfortunately for Sanders, it was just a ruse. The pranksters then let out a series of laughter as the quarterback realized he’d been bamboozled.
Although the video's authenticity is yet to be verified, its content matches the other video showing Sanders' end of the call.
The slide lengthened for Sanders, but his wait ended on Saturday afternoon when the Browns drafted him in the fifth round with the 144th overall pick. After days of humiliation, this must have been some relief for Sanders, who was previously speculated as a potential first overall pick.
"Praise the heavens," Sanders posted on social media after hearing his name called. He also shared his joy by dancing with his brother Shilo and cannonballing into the family pool.
Fun fact: The Browns didn't just draft one quarterback. They added another one named Dillon Gabriel during the draft.
Rumors point towards the prank being the work of a college student, but no solid evidence or specific names have been presented yet. The manner in which the pranksters obtained Sanders' private number, supposedly only shared with NFL teams, remains unclear.
Coach Kevin Stefanski condemned the prank but chose not to disclose the identity of the prankster, labeling them as "morons." As of now, the identity behind the hoax remains unverified.
