Sean McVay shares great prank he pulled on Kliff Kingsbury

Sean McVay recently shared a story about a great prank he pulled on Kliff Kingsbury in 2019.

McVay and Kingsbury were guests on Peter Schrager’s “Flying Coach” podcast for an episode published on Friday. McVay talked about a time he and Kingsbury hung out together in Los Angeles prior to the 2019 draft.

Kingsbury was in town visiting and got together with McVay after being connected through a mutual friend.

McVay, who had been the coach of the Rams since 2017, figured Kingsbury did not know the NFL tampering rules well. So McVay reprogrammed the phone number of one of his contacts on his phone to say “Roger Goodell.” He asked the friend to send him a text message saying that McVay and Kingsbury were busted for “tampering.”

McVay then showed Kingsbury the message, and the new Arizona Cardinals coach went into an immediate panic.
