Despite an earlier report, Shedeur Sanders’ decision not to practice at the Shrine Bowl did not come from the Browns.

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.

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders isn't practicing at the Shrine Bowl this week, and a new report explains why.

However, Sanders did not practice as he looks to impress the Browns and the other teams at the top of the draft. And is not going to practice. He did the media day in a scrum but that is all that Sanders will do this week in Frisco, Texas.

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

The Giants, along with the Saints, Bills, and Dolphins, met with the projected first-round pick for about half an hour at last weekend's East-West Shrine Bowl in Dallas.

Colorado Buffalos quarterback and potential No. 1 NFL draft pick Shedeur Sanders was spotted deep in conversation with the New York Giants front office at the Shrine Bowl, amplifying speculation that the college star may be headed to NY.

With Shrine Bowl practices scheduled to start Saturday ahead of next Thursday night’s game, here’s a look at 15 players to watch:

The interesting twist is that the top three teams picking in the draft — the Browns at No. 2, the Tennessee Titans at No. 1 and the New York Giants at No. 3 — all asked Sanders to not participate in Shrine practices this week, according to Charles McDonald of Yahoo Sports.

The Colorado quarterback has reportedly made a good impression already, according to ESPN's Tennessee Titans reporter, Turron Davenport. Davenport posted that all the people he has spoken to about Shedeur said he is "pleasant to work with" and "willing to do whatever they ask of him."

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll spent “significant time” meeting with QB Shedeur Sanders on Day 1 of the East-West Shrine Bowl.
