Yo, if the NFL still had any doubts about Shedeur Sanders walking into their league like he owns the spot—well, now they know. The Colorado QB didn’t just pull up to the 2025 draft process with a clean fit and highlight reel. He pulled up with conviction—and made it loud enough for all 32 teams to hear.
On April 15th episode of 2 Legendary with Shedeur Sanders, The former Buffs QB, Shedeur Sanders, dropped a straight-up alpha quote when asked if he sees himself as a franchise QB. “I always got something to prove—to myself and the franchise,” Shedeur said. “But if I didn’t feel like I was a franchise quarterback, I wouldn’t even play the game.” Shedeur Sanders wasn’t bluffing. “If I didn’t feel like I was one of the best—and I’m going to be one of the best to play the game—then I wouldn’t wake up and put countless hours.”
That ain’t cocky. That’s the type of grit you want from your QB1. And while he’s been making the rounds with teams across the board, one name hit different—Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin. When asked about his favorite moment through the whole process, Shedeur didn’t hesitate. “It was sitting down with Coach Tomlin,” he said. “Like, understanding what he did in the NFL, his impact… just being able to meet him in person was extremely cool for me.” They even grabbed dinner together, and Shedeur soaked it all in. “He was just talking to me straight up like a man… I appreciated his perspective on things and what’s going on overall.”
No fluff. Just football respect between two dudes who speak the same language—grind, leadership, and straight-up legacy. If front offices weren’t paying attention before, best believe they are now. Shedeur Sanders’ not auditioning—he’s letting folks know: this isn’t a tryout. It’s his league to take.
