Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is using the Shrine Bowl to make his case to the Tennessee Titans to make him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders is only doing it off the field, however.
As Saturday’s practices kicked off the Shrine Bowl week, Sanders was in street clothes with the West team. While it’s not uncommon for top-level prospects to eschew on-field practices, both the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl made noise about not allowing that for this year’s editions of the most significant all-star games.
Sanders did meet with the Titans on Friday, the first day of in-person official meetings for players with teams.
From ESPN’s Turron Davenport,
Shedeur Sanders after meeting with the #Titans brass. He made a good impression on them. They really like his personality, feel he’s very mature. Deion hit him on FaceTime during the meeting. pic.twitter.com/zAVNmSQXRK

Sanders is also scheduled to meet with the QB-needy Cleveland Browns, who have the No. 2 pick in the draft.
