The Steelers hosted Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders today for a pre-draft visit. Seldom do we get to hear how things went, especially in a quick sense.
However, in an appearance on Up & Adams, Sanders went into detail about his meeting on the South Side:
Talked to Shedeur Sanders just now.
He just left the Steelers facility. He's at the airport.
• On getting to the facility, the first thing that happens, etc.:
"You see everything. I enjoyed my time in Pittsburgh. I connected well with all of the coaches. It was real fun."
• One takeaway he had with spending time with Mike Tomlin:
"I understand the mindset and why they win a lot."
• Why do they win a lot?
"Just how he is as a person. The value that the team has. And the way he preaches from his staff down is similar to my dad."
• On how the meeting went:
"It was a 10. It was a 10."
• Best part of the day:
"Of course, talking football. Talking football is my favorite part. And just really getting to know each other."
• Should you be allowed to go to a 10-win team like the Steelers?
"That's on the other franchises that make a mistake a let me go there."
• Any talk about Aaron Rodgers?
"No, we didn't talk anything about that."
• On if he'd be okay with sitting behind a veteran to start his career:
"If that's the way things play out, then that's how it plays out. I wouldn't question what God has planned for me."
