As his stock among scouts and pundits rose and the landscape of the 2025 NFL draft order became clearer, Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders dropped hints as to his true feelings about potential landing spots.
In December, he slyly posted a picture of Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders, on his Instagram story, immediately sparking speculation about the team potentially selecting him in the draft. Later that month, Sanders told fans that cleats he'd be bringing to the Buffaloes' Alamo Bowl game would heavily hint at his likely draft location, and when the star QB brought New York Giants-colored shoes to the contest, it ramped up buzz that Big Blue would select him come April.
