Shedeur Sanders: 'I'd Love' Going to Titans at No. 1 Overall in 2025 NFL Draft

Former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders says he would "love" to be selected by the Tennessee Titans with the No. 1 pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.

"I'd love it. I would be thankful," Sanders told reporters, via TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt.

The Titans were one of three teams Sanders met with Friday amid preparations for the East-West Shrine Bowl in Arlington, Texas, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport.

Per Davenport, Sanders met with the Titans for 45 minutes. After the meeting, Wyatt reported that Sanders called the Titans "welcoming," while Titans head coach Brian Callahan told Davenport that Sanders was "poised" and "mature."

Sanders also met with the Cleveland Browns, who hold the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft, and the New York Giants, who will select third.

The quarterback has previously appeared to show preference toward the Giants. After saying his cleats for his final game with the Buffaloes would represent his future NFL team, Sanders wore custom shoes representing the Giants.

At the time, the Giants were on pace for the top pick in the NFL draft. Then a Week 17 win over the Colts took New York out of the running for the top pick, while the Titans secured the selection by losing six straight games to end the season.

That streak will give the Titans the opportunity to draft Sanders should they decide to target a quarterback when the draft starts on April 24 in Green Bay. In that case, Sanders could be set to compete with Will Levis for the starting role in Nashville.

Other teams meanwhile won't get a chance to get another look at the former Buffaloes signal caller this week. According to Davenport and Yahoo Sports' Charles McDonald, Sanders is sitting out the Shrine Bowl after being asked by the Titans, Browns and Giants to stay on the sidelines of the event.
