So, last week, right? Shedeur Sanders had this chat with the Pittsburgh Steelers. And by chat, I mean this mega five-hour marathon of a meeting — because who doesn’t love those? Anyway, Sanders walks out all smiles, rating it a “10” like he’s judging in the Olympics. Mike Tomlin, the coach, apparently dug it too. Todd McShay—the guy who knows everybody’s business—says Tomlin really likes Sanders. But then, yesterday pops up, and KPRC’s Aaron Wilson chucks a wrench in the works, claiming nope, didn’t go well. Steelers ain’t gonna pick him. Cue confusion, right?
But wait. Tony Pauline from Sportskeeda? He’s saying something totally different. He heard that Tomlin’s all about Sanders and wants him throwing passes in Pittsburgh. Not that Tomlin‘s thumping the table or anything, but you get the idea—Tomlin’s got Sanders on his radar once the draft clock starts ticking. Makes you wonder if Wilson tripped over a different wire, like maybe someone else in the Steelers wasn’t so keen. Who can tell these days?
Here’s the thing – sports bigwigs disagree like they’re in some never-ending Thanksgiving dinner debate. Just look back at all the Justin Fields and Russell Wilson rumor tornadoes before free agency – scattered reports everywhere!
And in comes Adam Schefter to sprinkle some more clarity by saying Sanders made quite an impression during his podcast. So, like, maybe Tomlin’s genuinely on Team Sanders. That’s kinda crucial ‘cause Tomlin’s got pull in the Steelers’ House of Decisions. Gerry Dulac from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette even dropped a nugget in his reader chat saying Tomlin’s wielding more power now, like some medieval king with better shoes.
If Tomlin’s vibing with Sanders, maybe the kid hops into the black and gold jersey come draft day. Unless he doesn’t. Because, you know, drafts are about as predictable as a cat walking a tightrope.
