Shedeur Sanders is expected to be a premium draft pick in 2025. But, according to certain sources, he won’t go to any team.
One such source has made claims of the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback preparing himself to be drafted by either the Las Vegas Raiders or Dallas Cowboys. He has made little secret of his infatuation with the Raiders, with mentor Tom Brady now part of the ownership.
He also has ties to the Cowboys, with his father, Deion Sanders, having won a Super Bowl with the team. The CU star was also raised in Dallas.
According to the NFL Rookie Watch account on X, the QB would reject the New York Giants or Cleveland Browns if they selected him, much like Eli Manning refused to play for the San Diego Chargers in 2004.
“Many NFL scouts reportedly believe the Giants will end up “settling” for Cam Ward, knowing Sanders wouldn’t play for them,” the account added.

Fans Had Mixed Reactions To Reports Of Shedeur Sanders’ Draft Desires
As you would imagine, the reactions were mixed on social media.
“I hope we do trade Dak and draft Shedeur. That would be awesome,” a Cowboys fan wrote.
“Doesn’t want to go to a team where his career ends before it starts,” someone else suggested.
“Each year we have this then comes draft day and nothing happens and probably never going to happen that manning draft was a one time thing that happen several years ago,” a skeptical fan claimed.

Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
