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.

Representatives of Colts draftee Tyler Warren believe a bogus call is related to a similar call made to Shedeur Sanders.

Colts' rookie tight end Tyler Warren was prank called during the 2025 NFL draft while the New York Jets were on the clock at pick No. 7.
