To that end, they are bringing in Colorado\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Shedeur Sanders\u00a0for a visit on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>And Shedeur has a 1-word message for The Steel City as he packs his bags.<\/p>\n<p>The chances of Sanders slipping to No. 21 seem to be increasing. If he gets past the\u00a0New Orleans Saints at No. 9, it is entirely possible he could fall to the Steelers.<\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh could also look to make a trade to get up in the first round to draft the former Buffaloes star.<\/p>\n<p>While the Steelers wait on\u00a0Aaron Rodgers\u00a0to decide if he wants to accept their one-year, $30 million contract offer, they&#8217;ve gotten a shoutout from Shedeur, the son of the iconic\u00a0Deion Sanders, who coached the QB at CU.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Legendary,&#8221; is Shedeur&#8217;s 1-word social media message &#8230; complete with a picture of him wearing a Steelers jersey.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-twitter-embed\">\n<figure class=\"m-embed mm-embed--twitter l-inline\">\n<div class=\"rna-container rh-ineligible\" data-embed-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PortersBurgh\/status\/1909748125683634611\" data-rhp=\"1\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=Fishsports&amp;dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1909748125683634611&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fathlonsports.com%2Fnfl%2Fshedeur-sanders-shouts-out-1-word-message-to-pittsburgh-steelers-amid-aaron-rodgers-rumors-draft-legendary&amp;sessionId=87c98cd683a2180ce2b5eacc15d14709c62fd33e&amp;siteScreenName=athlonsports&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1909748125683634611\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sanders has been thought of as the second-best quarterback\u00a0in the draft to Miami&#8217;s\u00a0Cam Ward, who is projected to go to the\u00a0Tennessee Titans\u00a0with the top pick in the draft.\u00a0Ole Miss\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Jaxson Dart has also been mentioned as a possible choice for the Steelers if he is still on the board at No. 21.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders, meanwhile, was once projected to go second or third to the\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0or\u00a0New York Giants. His stock has slipped but did pick up a little after his much-hyped workout last Friday in Boulder.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns might select Sanders&#8217; two-way teammate at Colorado,\u00a0Travis Hunter, with the second pick. The Giants are trending towards taking\u00a0Penn State&#8217;s edge rusher Abdul Carter but remain in play for the quarterback&#8217;s services.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants are said to be high on Sanders but signed Russell Wilson at Jameis Winston to quarterback the team in 2025. Therefore, they can afford to select a quarterback a little later in the draft and not overspend on Sanders.<\/p>\n<p>The Colorado quarterback is therefore in play for the Steelers, in theory.<\/p>\n<p>But so is Rodgers. In theory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Colorado quarterback is in play for the Steelers, in theory. But so is Rodgers. In theory.
