Tennessee Titans - English
Shedeur Sanders is sending a message loud and clear to NFL front offices: overlook him at your own risk.
The Colorado Buffaloes quarterback didn’t hold back following his Pro Day, where he showcased his arm, mobility, and poise in front of NFL scouts.
Sanders, a projected top-10 pick in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, took the spotlight not just for his performance on the field, but also for his words off it. Speaking with ESPN, Sanders delivered a bold statement about his draft stock.
“All I need is opportunity. Simple,” Sanders said. “Whatever franchise wants to change the franchise, there’s no doubt who to go with. I’ve done it over and over and over. So you’ll be a fool not to pick me.”
Sanders, the son of Colorado head coach and NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, has every reason to be confident.
Over the course of his college career – first at Jackson State and then at Colorado – he threw for more than 14,300 yards, tallied 134 touchdowns, and maintained a completion percentage above 65.9%. In 2024 alone, he threw 37 touchdown passes while completing 74% of his throws.
Titans decision sparks fiery response from Sanders
The fire behind Sanders‘ recent comments may have been sparked by what didn’t happen.
According to NFL insider Todd McShay, the Tennessee Titans canceled private workouts with both Sanders and Colorado teammate Travis Hunter – a sign that they are likely locking in quarterback Cam Ward as the No. 1 overall pick.
That snub didn’t sit well with Sanders, who reportedly wasn’t extended a private invite to Titans facilities despite his stellar production.
When asked by ESPN what quality matters most in a quarterback, Sanders turned the question back: “Let me ask you a question. What’s the most important trait of a quarterback?”
After the reporter answered with “decision-making and accuracy,” Sanders responded: “Consistency… Look at the last four years.”
As the Titans lean toward Cam Ward, and the Cleveland Browns focus on cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter with the second pick, speculation grows over where Sanders will land.
The New York Giants could be a destination at No. 3, though their signings of veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston might suggest they wait on selecting a quarterback.
If not the Giants, the Las Vegas Raiders at No. 6 – a team in need of a long-term solution under center – may find themselves in position to grab the highly touted passer.
Why teams may regret letting Sanders slide
Sanders‘ path to the draft has been anything but traditional. He flipped the script on expectations by elevating Jackson State’s profile before transferring to a Power Five school.
He then held his own against elite competition in the Pac-12, further proving he can adapt, lead, and deliver under pressure.
With an edge of frustration and determination in his voice, Sanders‘ message couldn’t be clearer: “You’ll be a fool not to pick me.” And in a league where a single draft decision can change a franchise’s fate, his words might end up being prophetic.

‘I’ve got to rein it in’ – Brook ready to change tactics in third Test
Harry Brook is prepared to "rein it in" in this week's third Ashes Test, admitting he has been guilty of "bad" errors since arriving in Australia.Brook has failed to fire in the series so far, managing just 98 runs in four innings and gifting his wicket with some poorly judged attacking strokes. The 26-year-old started the trip as the number two batter in the ICC world rankings, but has dropped two places in as many games and needs to carry more of the weight if England are to keep their campaign alive in Adelaide. Brook, who was promoted to vice-captain ahead of the tour, accepts he has made mistakes and has signalled an intent to be more selective."Sometimes I've got to rein it in a little bit, learn to absorb the pressure a bit more," he said.

Chiefs’ playoff elimination and Patrick Mahomes’ knee injury puts Chiefs dynasty at a crossroads. Is it a pause or the end?
As Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones processed Sunday’s 16-13 home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, a reporter’s question about being eliminated from postseason contention seemed to suddenly register in mid-thought.“I think the score was 13-13 or 13-10, so still had a fighting chance. Um…”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJones paused and looked at reporters.“Are we out of the playoffs?” he asked. “We are? OK.”He pursed his lips for a moment and went silent.Those few seconds felt like reality hitting home for the Chiefs defensive star. A totality on Sunday for Kansas City — from the top of the franchise to the bottom of the fan base — that carried the wallop of a sledgehammer. There would be no astounding turnaround and run to a Super Bowl. Instead, the team’s streak of seven consecutive AFC title game appearances ended, falling one short of […]

Cowboys playoff bid in tatters after McCarthy leads Vikings to win
JJ McCarthy threw for two touchdowns and ran for one as Minnesota Vikings severely damaged Dallas' playoff hopes with a 34-26 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday night.The Vikings (6-8) won a second consecutive game after they were eliminated from the postseason playoff race before the kick-off. Minnesota was a 14-win playoff qualifier a year ago.
