We're two months away from the 2025 NFL Draft and it's widely believed that Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will be among the first quarterbacks off the board, maybe even the very first.

But amid all of the speculation as to where he might go, be it the Tennessee Titans, New York Giants or Las Vegas Raiders, Sanders has dropped a hint as to which team he likes the most. At least, as far as playing the Madden NFL video game goes.

In a recent vlog shared by TMZ, Sanders and others were talking about the iconic football video game. Sanders mentioned that when he plays the game, he prefers to play as one team in particular: the Cleveland Browns.

"You know who I play with... One team: Browns. I like how they move around. I like how they move around on there. I like the setup," Sanders said.

It's an interesting statement from Shedeur Sanders to be sure. It has long been believed that he has no interest in playing for the Cleveland Browns and would flat-out refuse to play for them if the Browns wanted to draft him (a la Eli Manning and the Chargers in 2004).

Sanders is believed to prefer either the New York Giants or the Las Vegas Raiders as his destination.

All of that said, Sanders could simply be trolling us throughout this entire NFL Draft process. While he's said and done a lot of things that HINT at his interest in the Giants and Raiders, he might still wind up playing anywhere that drafts him - especially if that's early on in the draft.

Sanders is an intriguing prospect due to his incredible accuracy while he was at Colorado. This past season he led the nation with a whopping 74-percent completion rate and finished with 71.8-percent completion over two seasons.

There are questions and outright doubts about his abilities at the next level though. His deep ball accuracy and penchant for taking lots of sacks has a lot of draft analysts giving him pre-draft grades outside of the first round, let alone the top 10.

Will Sanders wind up plying his trade with the Browns? Or will some other team go get him?
