Shedeur Sanders is heading into the biggest night of his football career with tunnel vision.
As the NFL world gears up for the 2025 Draft, all eyes are on the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback. But while teams weigh his future on the field, fans are just as curious about what’s happening off of it. Specifically, does the possible top-five pick have someone special cheering him on?
The short answer: not in the way many might expect. Despite rumors linking Sanders to actresses and influencers, he has clearly shown who truly holds that title in his life now.
No Girlfriend, Just Family
Sanders, previously linked to Storm Reid and Jasmine Rae, will spend Thursday evening with his dad, Deion Sanders, and their family. According to multiple reports, including a recent piece by NBC News, the young quarterback does not currently have a public girlfriend.
When asked about his love life on the 2Legendary podcast, Sanders gave a candid response. “Yeah, I got a special woman,” he said. “My mom.” Pilar Sanders, who raised Shedeur alongside the NFL Hall of Famer turned college coach, remains the key woman in his life.
It’s a move that reflects Sanders’ overall mindset as he enters the NFL. He’s tuning out the noise, ignoring the doubters, and focusing solely on what lies ahead. “I truly don’t have any space for negativity, so it doesn’t play a factor in my life at all,” Sanders told NBC News earlier this month. “I truly don’t care what people have to say.”

On Instagram, he kept the energy high with a simple post that read, “The Rejected will be Respected!” A clear nod to critics and perhaps a reminder of the motivation that’s carried him to this moment.
As the clock ticks down to the start of the first round, which kicks off Thursday at 8 p.m. ET across ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network, Shedeur Sanders isn’t concerned about outside opinions- or romantic speculation. He has locked in, gathered his family around him, and prepared to take the next step in his football journey.
