"Perfect timing" "Shedeurleans" - Saints fans go wild as Deion Sanders stirs speculation of Colorado QB's landing spot

With the NFL Draft less than two weeks away, speculation around Shedeur Sanders' landing spot is gaining traction, fueled by a cryptic social media exchange involving his father, Deion Sanders.

On Saturday, referencing the New Orleans Saints' position in the draft, ESPN analyst Louis Riddick posted on X:

“That 9th pick gonna be all kinds of interesting 🤞🏾.”

The comment followed NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport's report suggesting QB Derek Carr’s shoulder injury could impact his availability for the 2025 season. Shortly after, Sanders responded with an “👀” emoji, intensifying speculation that the Saints could target Shedeur at No. 9.

The emoji exchange sparked immediate reactions from fans online.

“Perfect timing,” one fan noted.

“Shedeurleans,” another commented.

“It’s comical for these people to think that Shedeur is lasting to the 9th pick,” one user quipped.

“Saints better trade with the patriots,” another said.

This subtle interaction gave ongoing discussions more substance as well. The Tennessee Titans are reportedly focused on Cam Ward and Abdul Carter, potentially narrowing the field for Shedeur Sanders.

Despite varied opinions on the Colorado quarterback, ranging from top-tier talent to concerns over personality, the consensus remains that Sanders will be selected in the first round.

Deion Sanders’ son Shedeur backs out of Titans workout amid Cam Ward interest

Reportedly, the Tennessee Titans and Shedeur Sanders mutually canceled a private workout, but sources suggest Sanders' camp initiated it, citing Cam Ward's rising draft stock as a key influence.

Shedeur's strong performance at Colorado’s Pro Day had many believing his stock was rising. However, the Titans had already spent time with Ward, signaling their preference for the Miami Hurricanes quarterback. DJ BlessOne, on his podcast “IsmokeHiphop Live,” shared that the Sanders family felt the Titans only offered a backup plan for Shedeur, who didn’t want to risk further scrutiny by working out for a team already focused on another player.

"There's no point to privately work out for a team who has moderate interest in you, while our friend is the one they're relly eyeing," he explained.

The situation highlights the complexities of pre-draft workouts. With draft day approaching, Sanders and his camp made a calculated move to avoid situations that could hinder his chances.
