Ashton Jeanty, who was selected by the Las Vegas Raiders as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, revealed that he received a prank call after being drafted. The caller falsely informed him that he had been traded from the Raiders to the Dallas Cowboys.
Jeanty mentioned this incident on the “Stacking the Box” podcast, stating that he immediately hung up on the caller because he didn’t believe it.
This prank call to Jeanty occurred after he had already been officially drafted by the Raiders. Other draft prospects, such as Shedeur Sanders, also reported receiving prank calls during the draft process. In Sanders’ case, the prank caller was identified as the son of the Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator, which resulted in fines for the team and the coach.
