Shedeur Sanders was visibly missing from the Shrine Bowl, where he showed up only to speak to different NFL representatives. It was surprising to see the talented college football player not participating in the practices. Many sources argued that Sanders was hindered from participating in the tournament as a result of the Cleveland Browns, the New York Giants and the Tennessee Titans requesting him to do so.
Shedeur Sanders has already attracted interest from a number of NFL teams for the 2025 NFL Draft which is expected to take place in April at Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. Currently, the Titans, the Giants and the Browns are holders of the top three picks in the draft. However, these reports were dismissed by Cleveland Browns general manager, Andrew Berry.
“I don’t know where that report came from. That’s not true. That’s not a request that we made. With that being said, I want to be clear: whether he participated in the practices or not, that would have no bearing on how we think of him. But I don’t know where that came from.” Andrew Berry said according to sports writer Mary Kay Cabot.
