We've got pranksters on the loose.

Another NFL hopeful fell victim to a slew of prank calls on Draft Day(s). The list now includes top-three pick Abdul Carter, who reportedly received a prank call when the Jacksonville Jaguars were on the phone and picked second overall. 

Carter went one pick later to the New York Giants. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, gave details on the prank as more incidents are coming up from the 2025 NFL Draft.

"It’s unfortunate that these private numbers are getting to the people making the prank calls," said Drew Rosenhaus, via ESPN. "Abdul and I knew it was bs and didn’t even tell his family about the call." Moments later, Carter got the real call from the Giants, the team that selected him third overall.
