Kyle McCord hung up the phone and looked toward his parents. It was obvious in the room that the voices on the other end of the phone were going to be making McCord’s dream of being drafted come true.

Prank calls like those that McCord received were an unfortunate trend during this year's draft. Sanders, who was eventually drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round, received a prank call as he was waiting to be selected, and the moment was caught on camera.

Before he was drafted by the Eagles in the 2025 NFL Draft, former Ohio State and Syracuse QB Kyle McCord said he was pranked several times.
