DeJean was peppered by prank calls on his big day, including at least one that pretending he was the Packers’ general manager.

Many Green Bay Packers  were hoping that the team would call the name of Iowa defensive back Cooper DeJean, who ultimately was drafted 40th by the Philadelphia Eagles , in the first round of the draft. Apparently, DeJean was anticipating that he’d be on the team’s radar, too.


In a recently published YouTube video, DeJean showed a behind-the-scenes look at his draft day experience. Unfortunately, that included a prank caller who tried to ruin his big moment. Someone, pretending to be “Brian” (i.e. Gutkunst, general manager) from the Packers pranked called DeJean several times on Day 1 of the draft, attempting to convince DeJean that the team was selecting him.

On Day 2, the Eagles’ general manager Howie Roseman had to call DeJean three times before he picked up, as the Hawkeyes product thought he was just being prank-called again. If you want to watch the full video, you can find it linked below:








Whoever did this: Shame on you. Be a human. The kid has worked his ass off for years to get to this moment and was surrounded by family and friends back home. Whatever laughs you got from this can’t measure to the stress you caused for someone who wasn’t asking for any sort of trouble. Bum.

I'm sorry I won't do it again but yeah not only did I get his phone number I had to have a phone from the 920 area code.

Seriously it's a stupid thing to do to anyone especially these young guys who have their whole life before them.

I'm guessing this isn't a big enough problem for the NFL to give a crap about, but reading that the Eagles had to call him three times before he picked up for them, maybe it could be.

But this problem is easily fixable

The NFL already gives out a ton of freebies at the NFL combine. Simply work with a prepaid phones company and design NFL phones, with numbers that are not supposed to be given out to anyone except NFL GMs. And the only time they've supposed to use that phone/number is draft day. And then on top of that getting rid of all the scam callers, they'll also have a limited collectable going forward should they decide keep it.

there is a feature on most phones to block unknown callers.

If a club wanted to get a hold of an athlete they could text and in the body of the text post several phone numbers of a code word (which could be provided on teams on draft day) to legitimize the message.
Go Packers!!!!
