Picture this: The Tennessee Titans, sitting at the top of the 2025 NFL Draft, holding all the cards. They’re at a real fork in the road moment. Trade the golden ticket? Keep it and snag a “generational talent?” And let’s be honest, after last season, they need a serious shake-up. Titans GM Mike Borgonzi put it plain and simple: “You certainly don’t want to pass up on one of those players.” He’s talking about those game-changers, the guys who can flip a franchise. Because, let’s face it, quarterback play was a hot mess last year. Will Levis struggled, got benched, and the Titans limped to a 3-14 finish. Three years, no playoffs. But now, with the No. 1 pick, they’ve got a shot at redemption. They need to find that quarterback, the guy who can pull them out of the ditch. And Shedeur Sanders? He’s definitely in the mix.

Then, NFL insider Dov Kleiman drops a bombshell on March 3rd. The Titans are rolling out the red carpet for Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders this week. His X post read, “Just In: The #Titans will host Colorado star QB Shedeur Sanders and Miami QB Cam Ward this week.” They’re bringing in the big guns. But wait, there’s more! They’re not just looking at quarterbacks. They’re also eyeing PSU edge rusher Abdul Carter.

Now Shedeur Sanders’ path to becoming the Titans’ No. 1 pick is getting tougher. Ward’s locked in at the top, Carter’s in the mix—this thing’s turning into a real dogfight. But before Sanders even gets to Tennessee, another obstacle pops up. Well, a national analyst just exposed a glaring concern in Sanders’ game. NFL Draft expert Tristen Kuhn didn’t hold back in a recent X post, writing, “Shedeur Sanders consistency throwing downfield is a problem and it doesn’t get discussed enough. His accuracy is really inflated.”

Sanders’ deep throw accuracy? That’s got scouts talking. Stats look good, but the tapes tell a different story. Quick throws, short game—that’s his bread and butter. When he goes long, the passes are sailing high or missing targets. Now, skipping the Combine throw session—that’s not a red flag. But skipping the Shrine Bowl drills? That raised eyebrows. Even if top teams like the Titans asked him to focus on meetings, it still looks a little odd. Bottom line? He’s got something to prove. But don’t write him off. He’s still in the running for that top Titans spot.

After a brutal 3-14 season, Tennessee is desperate for a franchise QB. And with the No. 1 pick, Shedeur is firmly in the mix. You know, Titans’ GM Mike Borgonzi loves dynamic playmakers, and Sanders checks that box with his arm talent and high football IQ. Plus, having Deion Sanders as his father means he’s already got NFL-level guidance. On top of that, the Titans need a star to battle AFC South rival QBs like C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson. As of now, if they believe he’s the guy to lead their future, Shedeur’s weakness won’t matter.

We all know Sanders was elite last season. Stat-wise, Shedeur’s putting up big numbers. 37 touchdown passes, second only to Ward in the FBS. 74% completion rate, tops in the conference. 4,134 yards, and 10 interceptions. Plus, he took the Buffs to a 9-4 record and their first bowl game in four years. That’s some serious production. But it’s not just about the stats. There’s another reason the Titans might be eyeing Shedeur more than Ward.

An extra point for Shedeur Sanders!

Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward both bring the heat. But between those two ‘generational talents,’ Titans coach Brian Callahan might just have a favorite. In a recent interview with ESPN’s Turron Davenport, Callahan praised Sanders’ anticipatory throwing, even comparing it to Joe Burrow. And that’s high praise coming from Callahan, who spent four seasons as Burrow’s OC in Cincinnati. Therefore, if the Titans want a QB with elite timing and vision, Sanders could be their guy.

“People had questions about Burrow’s arm strength in general coming out,” Callahan said. “One of the things that makes Joe so unique, and I think you can probably put Shedeur in the same conversation. … They anticipate when they throw it, they have the timing and accuracy on top of it. That makes up for the arm strength.”

Titans GM Mike Borgonzi knows what it takes to find a great quarterback. And he trusts Brian Callahan’s sharp eye for talent, given his experience with some of the best in the game. “[Callahan]’s very smart and detailed. He’s been around some pretty good ones—Peyton Manning, Joe Burrow, and Matthew Stafford. I think that helps being around players like that—knowing what to look for in terms of just footwork, dropping the eyes downfield, etcetera,” said Borgonzi.

As of now, with that kind of pedigree, Callahan’s evaluation of Shedeur Sanders could carry serious weight. But finding a quarterback who can rival Shedeur Sanders in accuracy is no easy task—except for Cam Ward. Ward’s showing off that elite arm; he looks like he’s built for the pros. Now, will the Titans ultimately bet on Shedeur’s timing and vision, or will Ward’s raw talent prove too tempting to pass up?
