YouTube personality **Fred Beyer** crashed the NFL Draft stage in Pittsburgh during Day 2 of the 2026 event, attempting to announce his own name as the Las Vegas Raiders’ 67th overall pick.
The stunt backfired immediately. Officials cut his microphone and pulled him off the stage before he could finish his announcement.
Beyer admitted he created a fake credential at a Staples store to gain access to the draft.
The NFL responded with severe consequences after questioning by league security and police.
“You are indefinitely banned from any NFL game or event. The ban is league-wide and will be enforced rigorously. 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.”
The league’s letter made clear that Beyer’s lifetime ban covers all NFL games and events going forward.

Beyer has two million subscribers on YouTube. His attempt to create viral content for his audience resulted in being escorted from the draft grounds and facing potential arrest if he attends future NFL events.
The incident marked the only disruption during an otherwise smooth draft weekend in Pittsburgh.
