Also in attendance for a portion of the meeting — though unexpected and only via FaceTime — was the quarterback’s father, Deion Sanders. The Titans, who have the first overall pick, met with Sanders for 45 minutes. The meeting also included a surprise FaceTime call from Shedeur’s father, Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders.

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.

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