The Colorado quarterback reportedly didn’t make a good impression
The Pittsburgh Steelers made waves last week when they hosted Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders to a pre-draft visit. And while a good portion of Steelers fans would love to see Sanders slide to No. 21 and get selected by Pittsburgh in the 2025 NFL Draft. That said, NFL Insider Aaron Wilson says he is told the meeting between Pittsburgh and Sanders didn’t go well.
“I’ve heard he will not be a Pittsburgh Steeler, Wilson said. “I heard that meeting did not go well.”
Wilson added this information didn’t come from someone who would intentionally try to affect the stock of Sanders to help a certain team land him.
Sanders went on Up & Adams after his meeting with Pittsburgh and seemed to think the meeting went great.
“I enjoyed my time here in Pittsburgh,” Sanders said. “I think I connected well with all the coaches and it was real fun.”
Sanders added that his visit “was a 10” when asked how well it went.
The Steelers obviously need a long-term answer at quarterback. If Sanders is there at No. 21 and they love him, they’ll take him. The more likely outcome, though, is that Sanders is gone before then and Pittsburgh waits until the 2026 NFL Draft to make a move for their future quarterback.
