On January 30th, the best players in college football will meet in the 2025 Shrine Bowl. Players began arriving earlier this week and the Tennessee Titans sent a delegation of their own to North Texas University to get eyes on the talent.

It didn’t take long for Callahan to spot one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, Shedeur Sanders, and to introduce himself. That turned into a 15-minute conversation that left Titans executives impressed with Sanders.
“You can tell he’s been raised right,” Callahan said. “He’s mature, he has a really poised way about him, and he seems like a really good kid. I enjoyed talking to him. And, you could tell he’s a guy who has been in the spotlight. He knows how to handle himself, he’s been paid money, so he has a financial perspective. It was a really good first impression.”
Callahan also mentioned Sanders’ toughness, how he took shots and kept rolling. And he strangely had this comment as well:
Interesting that in Brian Callahan’s first comments about Shedeur Sanders, this came up.

A financial perspective? That’s definitely an interesting comment about an incoming player, especially since Sanders certainly isn’t the only college player to be paid in 2024.
Sanders is considered the second-best quarterback in the 2025 draft class behind Miami’s Cam Ward, but Ward isn’t in Texas and won’t be in Alabama for the Senior Bowl either, giving Sanders an opportunity to get ahead of the game.
