Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will privately work out for the Titans and the Browns, who hold the first and second overall picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. The workouts are scheduled for the days following Colorado’s April 4 pro day, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Sanders has already spent time with both teams; he interviewed with the Titans at the East-West Shrine Bowl in January and went to Cleveland on a top-30 visit at the beginning of March.
At the moment, Sanders is not the expected pick for either team. The Titans are working out Miami quarterback Cam Ward for a second time on Friday, and the Browns are “leaning towards” Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter at No. 2.
But with the draft still a month away, nothing is set in stone. Last month, the Titans were expected to trade the first pick and the Browns were trying to fend off Myles Garrett trade suitors. Now, Tennessee appears to view Ward as its quarterback of the future, and Cleveland signed Garrett to a massive extension.
Garrett’s trade request partially stemmed from the Browns’ lack of direction at quarterback. While his $40MM APY seems like enough motivation on its own, he insisted the extension wasn’t only about money. Garrett also said on a podcast (via the Browns’ social media) that he has an idea of who the Browns will start at quarterback in 2025 and likes it enough to stay in Cleveland.
However, the Browns’ only quarterback addition this offseason was Kenny Pickett. Dorian Thompson-Robinson was sent to the Eagles as part of the deal to acquire Pickett, and both Jameis Winston and Bailey Zappe signed with other teams in free agency. The Browns also missed out on Russell Wilson, leaving 2024 backups like Joe Flacco and Carson Wentz as Cleveland’s remaining options.
That quarterback room doesn’t inspire much confidence, indicating the Browns still have another plan to address the position. That could involve drafting Sanders (or another rookie QB), or a post-draft trade for Kirk Cousins.
Has a world of talent, but has never failed without a safety net.
I mean, he did if you think of a decent offensive line as a safety net.
Taking a kid who has basically spent the entirety of his college experience living with his parents and dropping him into the most suffocating media market in the NFL and they may have the recipe for a meltdown.
Then you’ll have the media constantly harassing Deion about his son’s performance.
Giants better be thinking about this from an angle beyond his perspective skill.
Is Deion the only coach he’s had? I think these are legit concerns.
This post isn’t about the Giants. And he’s already faced more media attention and scrutiny than most college quarterbacks. Meanwhile everyone is salivating over Arch Manning, who’s had his whole path micromanaged and he hasn’t even played yet.
Perhaps because most college quarterbacks play more than they talk.
If the Browns don’t take Carter the Giants will. Look at what the Giants will be building there for a defense. If the Giants take Sanders. Watch the circus now that they’ve signed Wilson.
I read everywhere ‘Besides an OK arm and smaller hands, Sanders is a great leader and tough…’ Naturally a cold weather team will draft him and go hmmm…
Rooting for Shedeur to join the Giants. Think of the inspirational speeches from Russell, Jamies and Lil Prime. That’s a playoff team if pre-game QB speeches are worth anything!
Please, please, please draft Sanders.
Sincerely,
Pats Nation
I don’t think you can disagree with pedigree. Does anybody seriously think that Levis, Pickett, or Wilson are better than passing on Sanders? Sound like a recipe for a new job to me if you’re a GM.
Not much to talk about here. The QBs are going 1-2 like usual, the only question is what order and it’s probably going to end up with Sanders in Cleveland.
