Teams hoping to see former Colorado Buffaloes star Shedeur Sanders showcase his arm talent and accuracy before the 2025 NFL draft were disappointed when he announced that he plans to skip the workout portion at the Combine. Instead, he will focus on his interviews with coaches and front offices.

There are suggestions that the quarterback's draft stock could plummet due to his decision to skip the workout. However, Sanders is seemingly confident that he'd be a top-three pick. On the "2Legendary with Shedeur Sanders" podcast, he revealed his post-Combine plans:

"The schedule is the Browns, Giants and Titans. I think those are the only three [meetings]."

While the plan right now is to only meet with the team with the top three picks in the draft, the quarterback claimed he's open to visiting more franchises.

"Things could change day by day. Some more teams could get added day by day honestly though," Sanders said. "That's another thing why you just can't take the teams right now and just say 'this is it this where you're going' cuz like bro it could be added teams."

Shedeur Sanders landing spot: Giants get cold feet

For months, it seemed that the Giants picked Shedeur Sanders with the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft was a foregone conclusion. The quarterback and his father, Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, had been vocal about handpicking his landing spot, and the young star had hinted that they had settled on New York.

However, the Giants are seemingly unsure about whether to pick Sanders. According to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, the franchise is concerned about the media attention that drafting the former Buffaloes star will bring:

"There is no doubt the Giants are intrigued with Shedeur Sanders... There is a concern that Shedeur has been coached by his father since high school, and the Giants saw firsthand the video-centric, everything-gets-documented ecosystem created at Colorado and the spotlight that both father and son seem to crave."

The Giants' indecision has opened the gate for other teams to land Sanders. The Tennessee Titans and the Cleveland Browns, who hold the first and second pick in the draft, respectively, were seemingly not in the race for the quarterback. However, the young star is now open to the idea of joining one of those two teams.
