WATCH: Cooper DeJean got prank called ‘over 30 times’ during the NFL Draft

NFL Draft prank calls were a hot topic this year, but according to Cooper DeJean, they’ve been going on for a while — and he was hit with over 30 of them last year alone.

On the first episode of Exciting Whites, the new podcast hosted by DeJean and fellow Eagles defensive back Reed Blankenship, DeJean shared that his entire draft experience was flooded with fake calls. He told Blankenship it got so bad, he had to deal with pranksters nonstop throughout the process.

Pretty insane that people actually prank call draftees this much. Also pretty insane that no one gave a shit about it until it happened to poor little Shedeur Sanders. It sounds like Cooper DeJean had it a lot worse than Shedeur. But what do I know.
