The assumption for most of the offseason has been that Shedeur Sanders will go at some point over the first 10 picks of the 2025 NFL Draft. He wasn’t really looked at as a possibility for the Pittsburgh Steelers until he came in for a pre-draft visit late in the process. Suddenly it doesn’t seem all that unrealistic that he could fall to the Steelers at No. 21 overall.
The New Orleans Saints have been connected to Sanders at No. 9, especially since Derek Carr’s shoulder injury news broke last weekend. According to Adam Schefter, the Saints aren’t in love with Sanders.
