After finishing a disappointing 3-14 season, the Tennessee Titans have secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. With a glaring need at quarterback, fans are already vocal about their preferred choice: Colorado star Shedeur Sanders.
During the Titans‘ Week 18 loss to the Houston Texans (23-14), frustrated fans at Nissan Stadium expressed their desire for Sanders. The CBS broadcast caught a group of Titans supporters wearing brown paper bags on their heads to protest the team’s struggles. One fan’s bag featured a cutout picture of Shedeur Sanders taped to the front.
The clip quickly went viral after being shared by SportsCenter’s Instagram account, prompting a response from Sanders himself. The quarterback called the moment “Legendary,” further fueling speculation about his future and a possible pairing with Tennessee.

The Titans‘ offensive struggles have been a recurring theme, with their current quarterbacks failing to solidify themselves as long-term solutions. Tennessee cycled through starters during the season, and their lack of offensive production underscored the need for a major change under center.
Selecting Shedeur Sanders could provide the Titans with a dynamic quarterback to revitalize their franchise. Known for his impressive arm strength, pocket presence, and ability to make plays under pressure, Sanders has become one of college football’s top quarterback prospects.
Sanders, the son of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, has emerged as a Heisman-caliber talent and a potential top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
His performance during the 2024 season showcased his ability to elevate his team, consistently delivering under pressure and making key plays in high-stakes moments.
Sanders‘ charisma and leadership qualities, coupled with his on-field talent, make him a particularly intriguing prospect for a team like Tennessee, which desperately needs a franchise quarterback.
While Tennessee fans are clearly enamored with Sanders, the team’s front office faces a tough decision.
Holding the No. 1 overall pick provides the Titans with a unique opportunity, but they could also entertain trade offers from quarterback-needy teams willing to pay a premium to move up in the draft.
