Shedeur Sanders recently posted an Instagram story about his scheduled visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers this Thursday. The Colorado Buffaloes quarterback who is predicted to be one of the big names in the upcoming NFL draft has already visited the New York Giants and the Cleveland Browns. However, Sanders looks determined to showcase his skill-sets close-up in every chance he gets before the draft.
Shedeur Sanders played college football for the Colorado Buffaloes after spending a season with the Jackson State Tigers. His father, Deion Sanders, coached both his college teams. In his senior year with the Colorado Buffaloes, Sanders managed an impressive 4,134 passing yards, scoring 37 touchdowns, while managing ten interceptions for the team.
“Legendary” Shedeur Sanders captioned his Instagram story, sharing a graphic of his scheduled visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Pittsburgh Steelers finished second in the AFC North after winning ten games and losing seven in the 2024 NFL season. The Steelers made it to the Wild Card round and played against the Baltimore Ravens, but lost 28-14.
The Steelers are still waiting for veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers to come back with a response after they expressed interest in him. At the same time, they are keeping their options open and hoping that they are able to bag Shedeur Sanders in the upcoming NFL draft as well.
