Where Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders ends up is becoming one of the great questions of the 2025 NFL Draft. And we now know which two teams he'll visit first.
In a video posted by Well Off Media, his older brother Deion Sanders Jr.'s YouTube channel, Shedeur Sanders is heard telling a member of the Colorado athletic department that his first two top-30 visits with NFL teams will be with the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants. The Browns pick second overall and the Giants select third.
"The '30 visits' start like March 4," Sanders said during a break in his workout. "I've got the Browns (first), then the Giants."
Every NFL franchise can bring in 30 prospects for visits to the team's facility after the conclusion of the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, which begins Feb. 27.
Sanders attended the East-West Shrine Bowl last month outside Dallas, although he did not practice or play in the game. He did, however, already meet with multiple teams that week, including the Titans, owners of the No. 1 overall pick. Titans QB coach Payton McCollum also served on the Shrine Bowl coaching staff.
Sanders and Miami's Cam Ward are considered the top two QB prospects in the 2025 class. They're currently training together and have become friends, Sanders told NFL Network last week from Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. They've traded notes, Sanders said, on which teams have called to set up meetings and workouts -- and there's a lot of overlap in the lists.
Amid questions of how much his father, Deion Sanders, might try to get involved in the pre-draft process, Sanders told NFL Network that there's not one team that he's favoring over any other at this point.
"Out of the teams (reportedly interested), there's not really one that I'm looking forward to, there's not really one I'm looking past," Sanders said. "It's all about the process. The teams picking me, I don't really have much of a say on that.
"Just meeting the owners, meeting the coaches, meeting the GMs, and them being able to understand me and not reading the headlines and what you see. … Those coaches I've met, it's been good, and they didn't really expect me to be who I am."
Asked what he thinks an NFL team will be getting in him, Sanders believes he has everything a team could want in a prospective franchise QB.
"What you're getting is a complete package, you're getting everything you could ask for," Sanders said. "Able to handle the media. Able to handle the scrutiny that the NFL comes with. Having a leader that knows.
"I've been in a lot of situations -- good, bad and ugly -- and I've been the same through it all. Nothing really fazes me; you can tell I play like that."
