Shedeur Sanders left his meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers visibly impressed, rating his experience a perfect 10 out of 10.
The Colorado quarterback and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders couldn’t contain his enthusiasm following the visit, sparking immediate speculation about the Steelers’ draft intentions.
Whether through their current No. 21 pick or an aggressive trade up the board, Pittsburgh may be positioning themselves to land Sanders before another team can secure him.
Sanders continued expressing his admiration for the organization during an appearance on Kay Adams’ “Up & Adams” show, where he specifically highlighted head coach Mike Tomlin as a memorable part of his visit.
“I enjoyed my time here in Pittsburgh. I think I connected well with all the coaches and it was real fun,” Sanders said, adding, “I understand the mindset and why they win a lot, just how he is as a person, and just the values that the team has. What he preaches from his staff down is similar to my dad.”
“It was a 10.”

When Adams asked him to grade his visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Sanders didn’t hesitate: “It was a 10.”
Draft analysts widely consider Sanders the second-best quarterback prospect in the 2025 class, though his landing spot remains uncertain.
While Cam Ward has gained momentum as the Tennessee Titans’ likely selection with the first overall pick, Sanders’ destination lacks similar clarity.
Some mock drafts connect him to the New Orleans Saints at the ninth pick, while others project him going to the Las Vegas Raiders with the sixth selection.
The Steelers, currently holding the 21st pick, sit considerably lower in the draft order, yet their quarterback situation remains unsettled.
Despite earlier connections to Aaron Rodgers during free agency, Pittsburgh might view Sanders as their answer for the future at the position.
