Sanders is attending the event to meet with NFL teams, and he's already caught the attention of several key franchises, including the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, and New York Giants, per ESPN.
On Friday, Sanders had a noteworthy meeting with the Titans, who hold the first overall pick in this year's draft. The meeting lasted 45 minutes and included a surprise FaceTime call from Shedeur's father, Deion Sanders, the head coach at Colorado.
Titans head coach Brian Callahan had high praise for Shedeur following the session. "He's really poised and had a mature way about him," Callahan told ESPN. "You can tell he's been in the spotlight and knows how to handle it." With the Titans holding the top pick, they are closely evaluating their quarterback options, and Shedeur is clearly a part of that conversation.
The Cleveland Browns, with the second pick, and the New York Giants were also among the teams to sit down with the young quarterback, signaling the growing interest in his draft prospects.
Shedeur isn't the only Sanders family member in Texas this week. His older brother, Shilo, a safety, is also attending the Shrine Bowl, which takes place Thursday. Additionally, Colorado is well-represented at the event with wide receivers Will Sheppard, LaJohntay Wester, Jimmy Horn Jr., and cornerback Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig all in attendance.
Shedeur Sanders will speak with reporters Saturday afternoon, providing more insight into his draft preparations and potential landing spots. With the buzz surrounding his future, all eyes will be on the rising star.
