The old star of Colorado was strongly related to a transfer to Pittsburgh before the 2025 NFL project, but the AFC North franchise chose to snatch it continuously as part of its dramatic slide.
Shedeur’s Sanders supported one of the most dramatic slides Nfl History draft when it went from a guaranteed first or second round selection to a selection of fifth roundwith reasoning for this, at least in the Pittsburgh Steellers’ Case: It is now revealed.
Currently, the 23 -year -old is running with life as a Cleveland Browns player, having been To put on their misery by the North AFC franchise when selected it with the 144th general choice The third and final day of the 2025 NFL project. Since then it has been urged Keep your mouth closed and listen carefully In front of their first training field at the Nfl.
However, at the start of the project, a lot was talked about about the steelers who could take Sanders With their number 21 selection. In the end, they chose by Derrick Harmon Oregon Instead, a decision Pittsburgh Gm Omar Khan Tagged an “easy choice”. The following month, that arose Aaron Rodgers I had supposed it “He told the steelers not to write Sanders.”

Rodgers has signed since then A one -year agreement To become the initial quarterback to the Acrisure Stadium for the NFL 2025 season and the ex-offensive NFL, Ross Tucker, believes that the 41-year-old could have influenced Steelers ‘strategy advising Sanders’ collection.
However, a new theory of Pittsburgh’s reasoning has appeared so as not to select Sanders in the project, with Ray Fittipaldo, a rhythm writer who covers the Steelers, claiming that the team simply did not qualify for the first five rounds.
Speaker 93.7 ThefanFittipaldo also suggested that there could be worries about his father, Deion SandersHowever, it was their skills that affected their draft slides. “I think above all, it had to do with him, they did not have a note in the first five rounds,” began Fittipaldo.
“I think the second part of this equation, and this was not really discussed, you have seen some leaks with other NFL teams. Now many people did not want to deal with Deion Sanders and what could be the way after Colorado.
“Therefore, I do not know if the steelers felt the same way, but they did not have a first degree of five places. A round grade of the first five places in Shedeeur Sanders, and that is why they made the route they went.”
Sanders’ Fittipaldo’s comments indicate the idea of the 57 -year -old who wants to train his son in the NFL someday. Given this, Steelers’ titular coach Mike Tomlin is unlikely to elaborate a player that his father may want to take his job.
Faced with the draft, “the prime coach” confidently predicted that his son would be a selection of five better, Even so it was left in the red face After its audacity prediction fell flat when the young quarterback lost in the first round.
In a strange spin of events, however, Sanders could be helped by the Steellers In its mission to be named Cleveland’s Start the 2025 quarterback Nfl condemn, have According to reports, he has been listed as Browns’ fourth quarterback Departing at the training camp, scheduled to start at the end of July.
He currently competes with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and his companion Rookie Dillon Gabriel, still Heavy.com It forecasts that the Steelers’ backup quarterback situation could end up helping Sanders.
With current backing options: Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson and the sixth round of Will Howard, for Rodgers who is rather bewildering, the website suggests that steelers could send a future selection in the sixth round to the browns for Flacco, so probably seeing Sanders the list of 53 men of the Browns, along with Pickett and Gabriel.
