The NFL might want to consider increasing its security measures for next year's draft.

Believe it or not, YouTube personality Fred Beyer crashed the stage during Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft. He tried to announced the 67th overall pick, which belonged to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Beyer, who has 2.09 million subscribers on YouTube, said this prank was his way of trolling former Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell. Although he wasn't sure if his plan would work, he got past a few staff members by wearing a fake credential that he made at Staples.

Before Beyer could announce the 67th pick, his microphone was cut off. He was then ushered backstage by security and escorted off the premises by the police.

The NFL isn't messing around.

Beyer revealed in his latest YouTube video that he's been banned indefinitely from attending any NFL event.

"You are indefinitely banned from any NFL game or event. The ban is league-wide and will be enforced rigorously," the letter he received from the NFL states. "Should you be found at any NFL game or event, law enforcement will be summoned and you will be arrested…We sincerely hope that you will take this opportunity to reflect on your actions."

Beyer signed the NFL's letter, so it's safe to say he won't be crashing a game anytime soon.

Will the NFL eventually welcome Beyer back? Only time will tell.
