Shedeur Sanders wasn’t the only rookie prank-called on draft night.

New Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty shared a surprising twist that he also got pranked in a call that said he’d been traded to the Cowboys.

In a conversation with FanSided, Jeanty shared that not long after being chosen sixth overall by the Raiders, he got a call from an individual pretending to be from the Cowboys.

The caller informed him of a supposed trade, saying that the Boise Star star running back had been dealt from Vegas to Dallas.

Jeanty, recognizing the call as a prank, simply hung up and laughed it off.

This incident adds to a series of prank calls targeting NFL prospects during the draft.

“Some dude called me and was like, ‘We just traded with the Raiders, and you’re coming to the Cowboys,’” said Jeanty. “And I just hung up bro.”

Jeanty was far from alone.

Sanders, Mason Graham, Tyler Warren and Abdul Carter were all prospects who were also reportedly prank-called this past weekend during the NFL draft.

Regarding the Sanders prank call, the NFL imposed a $250,000 fine on the Falcons, and also fined defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich an additional $100,000 once it was revealed that his son Jax had made the call.

Jeanty will remain a Raider in an offense led by new head coach Pete Carroll and franchise quarterback Geno Smith.

Jeanty, the Heisman runner-up of the 2024 season in college football, rushed for an NCAA-best 2,601 yards and scored 30 total touchdowns last year.
