The East-West Shrine Bowl, one of the premier showcases for NFL draft prospects, was expected to be a platform for Shedeur Sanders to demonstrate his skills. However, the Colorado quarterback and potential No.

The Giants, along with the Saints, Bills, and Dolphins, met with the projected first-round pick for about half an hour at last weekend's East-West Shrine Bowl in Dallas.

Sanders said his father, Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, called him several times to check in during his interview with the Titans.

The Colorado quarterback has reportedly made a good impression already, according to ESPN's Tennessee Titans reporter, Turron Davenport. Davenport posted that all the people he has spoken to about Shedeur said he is "pleasant to work with" and "willing to do whatever they ask of him."

The interesting twist is that the top three teams picking in the draft — the Browns at No. 2, the Tennessee Titans at No. 1 and the New York Giants at No. 3 — all asked Sanders to not participate in Shrine practices this week, according to Charles McDonald of Yahoo Sports.

As Saturday’s practices kicked off the Shrine Bowl week, Sanders was in street clothes with the West team. While it’s not uncommon for top-level prospects to eschew on-field practices, both the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl made noise about not allowing that for this year’s editions of the most significant all-star games.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll spent “significant time” meeting with QB Shedeur Sanders on Day 1 of the East-West Shrine Bowl.

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is at the Shrine Bowl prepping for the NFL Draft, but he hasn't forgotten his HBCU roots. The former Jackson State quarterback was at the Shrine Bowl talking to the press over the weekend when he was asked about his legacy at JSU by Ron Murray Jr.

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders isn't practicing at the Shrine Bowl this week, and a new report explains why.

However, Sanders did not practice as he looks to impress the Browns and the other teams at the top of the draft. And is not going to practice. He did the media day in a scrum but that is all that Sanders will do this week in Frisco, Texas.

Colorado Buffalos quarterback and potential No. 1 NFL draft pick Shedeur Sanders was spotted deep in conversation with the New York Giants front office at the Shrine Bowl, amplifying speculation that the college star may be headed to NY.
