The Tennessee Titans played so poorly in 2024 that they earned the No.1 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft. This means they get their pick of any player in the entire draft, and while the focus seems to be on the quarterbacks, some mocks predict the Titans will go a different direction with the top pick.
One of the top prospects in this year’s draft class is quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of former NFL star running back Deion Sanders.
The younger Sanders has already met with Titans’ brass, but he says he would not be upset if the Titans do not draft him with the top pick.
“Why would I be mad?” Sanders told ESPN’s Kevin Clark on Thursday. “These are good problems to have. You could be in a way worse situation. Being No. 1 doesn’t really matter to me. It’s all about fit.”
Sanders has been routinely praised for his maturity and level of understanding about how all of this works. He knows that no matter where he goes, it’s a team with a high draft pick so there might not be immediate success.
However, Sanders also has the benefit of his father by his side, someone who knows very well how the NFL works and how to make the most of opportunities. They aren’t just looking at the teams at the top of the draft in terms of the players on the team, but the coaching staff, the administration, how things are run, etc.
There is more to being successful in the NFL where you are drafted.
