Football’s a wild ride—blink, and everything changes! The Raiders and Giants were set to snag Shedeur Sanders, but destiny had other plans. Both teams have now withdrawn from the Shedeur sweepstakes, leaving fans puzzled. Do you recall those eye-catching Giants logo cleats he sported during the game against BYU? It now seems like a futile display of confidence. However, a $4.9B franchise, fresh off a loss, has joined the fray, injecting a dose of Avengers-level intensity into the Shedeur sweepstakes. Who will emerge victorious in ultimately securing Shedeur?

The Tennessee Titans’ nightmare season finally met its bittersweet end with a 3-14 record. This disastrous season put them straight up in the coveted first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, this might not be good news for the Raiders, who planned to take Shedeur Sanders into their team. Well, all thanks to the Raiders’ big win, that dropped them out of the top five. Plus, even Titans fans are on the Shedeur train! In fact, a Titans fan at the Texans game was even rocking a paper bag with Shedeur’s watch flex pic on their head. The spotlight is now on Shedeur, the rising QB star many believe can revive the Titans.

Adding to the excitement, Well Off Media shared a funny post highlighting the NFL hype around the Buffs QB. Deion Sanders then chimed in with a cryptic three-word response to the post: “God is good.” This surely turned many heads over the fact that the Titans might be the answer to Shedeur’s NFL question. See, Tennessee’s need for a dynamic quarterback is undeniable. And Shedeur has the skills to fit the bill. Plus, knowing the fact that their starting quarterback and former Kentucky player Will Levis is out of the run after disappointing gameplay in the season. Either Shedeur or Cam Ward could take up the charge. But the question is, could the $4.9B Titans franchise roll out the red carpet for Shedeur?

With the Tennessee Titans winning the race of the weak schedule tiebreaker (.521), they now hold the No. 1 pick for the first time since drafting Earl Campbell in 1978. Man, they were really bad this season. Moreover, the Browns and Giants also finished 3-14, but it’s evident that the Titans’ collapse hit differently. The situation is like fans have to make sure the team doesn’t miss out on a player like Shedeur Sanders; it’s like, ‘Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.’

With a stunning victory against Buffalo, the Patriots avoided the top pick, leaving the Titans to claim the number one spot. After that, now the top five teams are: the Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, New England Patriots, and Jacksonville Jaguars. The Pats could’ve won the stop but instead went full ‘Rocky Balboa’ with a 23-16 upset against Buffalo. But with this change of dynamics, there is a chance that Shedeur Sanders might hit rock bottom. Shocking, right?

Doubts rising over Shedeur Sanders’ NFL future

Till the Tennessee Titans lost against the Texans, it was pretty clear that Shedeur Sanders was going to join the Raiders. However, that’s not the case now, but it’s pretty much evident that everyone presumes Shedeur is going to be the number one pick. But as the hype builds, there are also critical voices that make it tough on the players. And for now, Cam Newton is leading that charge. We all know that the Buffs were not up to the mark in their game against BYU, and neither was Shedeur.

It was more like a gut-check moment for Shedeur Sanders, who just threw for 208 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions but obviously struggled in key moments. And Cam Newton didn’t miss this opportunity to bring down Shedeur, saying that it’s like a missed opportunity. So it started when Cam Newton gave his opinion on Shedeur’s Giants-themed cleats before his bowl game debut, sparking draft buzz. However, with the Giants now in fourth place, the question arises: Is Shedeur’s playful behavior helping or hindering his draft stock, especially given the ongoing NFL tanking controversy?

Talking about this situation Cam Newton had a pretty blunt approach as he said, “Everything about pregame I approve. Everything that happened during the game? I disapprove…I don’t know if he’s going to perform in the combine. I don’t know if he’s going to run…I love the cleats, bro. LOVE IT! But—this ain’t even a word for Shedeur—this is a word for everybody: If you’re going to talk that talk, make sure you walk that walk.” Newton might try to act like it’s for everyone, but we all know this is the Shedeur Sanders show. Let’s see which team gets lucky with this likely #1 QB!
