The Tennessee Titans own the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and they may have dropped a big hit on who they are going select in that spot. Or perhaps more accurately, who they are not going to select.
According to Jim Wyatt of the Titans’ website, the team and quarterback Shedeur Sanders have mutually agreed to cancel a private workout following Friday’s pro day at Colorado.
While it is true that the Titans have all of that game-film and had a chance to see him — and talk to him — at the pro day, there is still something to be said for a private workout and a private visit.
That is when the Titans could get serious one-on-one time with a prospect to speak to him, put him through their own drills and get a unique glimpse at a player that no other team would get. Or be there to share time with.
The Titans also already had a private visit with Miami quarterback Cam Ward.
Following his pro day on Friday, Sanders had a very bold statement for teams entering the draft: You would be a fool to not take him.
Ward has been regarded as the favorite to go No. 1 overall, but this is not a draft class where there is a slam-dunk, can’t-miss prospect at the top. The best overall player in the draft probably isn’t even a quarterback. (Colorado’s two-way standout Hunter or Penn State edge-rusher Abdul Carter are where that discussion starts.) But because quarterback is the position that drives success in the NFL, teams will always make them a priority.
The Titans might very well be doing the same. Their decision this weekend might offer a window into which quarterback they really like and have their eyes on.
