Shedeur Sanders may have dropped a tip about which team he thinks will choose him on Thursday during the first round of the NFL draft.
Sanders, 23, was asked who his top four quarterback-wide receiver duos are of all times.
“Tom (Brady) and (Rob Gronkowski), of course, Men’s (Gronkowski is a) tight end.” I liked Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, I like Chris Olave and Derek Carr, “Sanders said during a recent performance at” The Rush With Maxx Crosby. “

“Whoever wants to be quarterback for DK Metcalf and George Pickens who it is,” said Sanders as his fourth quarterback-wide receiver duo.
Metcalf and Pickens are both broad recipients for Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sanders has been linked to Steelers in the days and weeks leading up to the NFL draft, as the team does not have a long-term response to the quarterback position on the guard schedule.
Even if Steelers ends up signing free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers, they could still choose Sanders with the total election # 21 in the first round as Rodgers would only be a short-term solution.

The reservation for Steelers may not fall for them at No. 21. New York Giants have spent extensive time scouting Colorado -Quarterback, and New Orleans Saints have been tied to Sanders instead of the injury news around Derek Carr.
Giants and Saints choose No. 3 and No. 9 respectively, and if Steelers fears Sanders can be taken in front of them on # 21, they would be forced to go in a different direction or shop to secure Sanders.
The only two quarterbacks currently on the Steelers program list are Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson.

No matter how things are shaking out Thursday night, Sanders is clearly thrilled by the idea of landing in Pittsburgh and coming to two top-level recipients in pickens and Metcalf.
Last season with Colorado, Sanders threw to 4,314 yards and 37 touchdowns with 10 interceptions, which helped lead the buffalo to a 9-4 record and a bowl game look.
Sanders’ game is a big reason why the team improved to 9-4 after walking 4-8 the previous season; Colorado was 1-11 the year before the Sanders family came over.
