The AFC North evidently had lots of interest in Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders. The Pittsburgh Steelers brought him in for a visit. The Cleveland Browns traded up and stopped Sanders’ draft weekend fall. But he was nearly became a member of the Baltimore Ravens until Sanders himself refused to go there. ESPN Adam Schefter laid out the details Sunday morning.
“A consensus had been reached,” Schefter said on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown. “The Baltimore Ravens were planning to select Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round with the 141st overall selection. But when he found out, he got word back to the Ravens, that he preferred not to go to a place where he would be competing and backing up Lamar Jackson.
