Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders meeting with NFL teams, won’t play in East-West Shrine Bowl
Watch German football player get emotional when Mom shocks him at game
German football player Justus Seelig was stunned when his mom appeared beside him during an interview at the U.S. Army bowl game in Frisco, Texas.
Colorado football quarterback Shedeur Sanders will not participate in practices or for the East-West Shrine Bowl game but will meet with NFL scouts in Denton, Texas.
The Buffaloes signal-caller will only participate in meetings and has already met with the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, and New York Giants, according to ESPN. Those three teams hold the top three picks in the 2025 NFL draft scheduled for April 24 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The meeting with Sanders and the Titans lasted about 45 minutes, including a surprise FaceTime call from Sanders’ father, Deion Sanders, a Colorado coach.
“He’s really poised and had (a) mature way about him,” Titans coach Brian Callahan said to ESPN about the meeting. “You can tell he’s been in the spotlight and knows how to handle it.”
Sanders passed for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2024 for the Buffaloes. He is widely expected to be one of the first quarterbacks selected and in play to be a top-5 or top-10 pick in the draft.
Saturday was the first day of practices for the 100th annual East-West Shrine Bowl, which will be played at 8 p.m. ET Thursday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Sanders is expected to talk to the media on Saturday afternoon.
The East-West Shrine Bowl pits the top seniors head-to-head for a week of practices before a game with 100 prospective NFL players having a chance to showcase their talents.

Avalanche To Play Mammoth in 2027 Discover Winter Classic in Salt Lake City | Colorado Avalanche
NEW YORK – The National Hockey League announced today that the Colorado Avalanche will be the visiting team in the 2027 Discover Winter Classic and play the Utah Mammoth at the University of Utah’s Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. Additional details for the game, including ticketing information, date and start time, will be announced at a later date.
The 2027 Winter Classic marks the first time the Avalanche will play in the event and will be the fourth ever outdoor game the franchise plays in and the first one they’ll compete as the visiting team. Colorado hosted the Detroit Red Wings at Coors Field in the Stadium Series on Feb. 27, 2016, the Los Angeles Kings for the 2020 Stadium Series at Air Force Academy’s Falcon Stadium on Feb. 15, and the Vegas Golden Knights at Edgewood Tahoe Resort for the NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe event on Feb. 20, 2021.
“We’re excited and honored that the League selected us for the Winter Classic,” said Avalanche President of Hockey Operations Joe Sakic. “The Avalanche organization is always proud to be in consideration for marquee events like this. We’re looking forward to being matched up with a great team and represent the Rocky Mountain region in a game that appeals to these two markets in this part of the country.”
The Avalanche are 1-2-0 all-time in outdoor games but captured the most recent one at Lake Tahoe by a 3-2 score.
Colorado has faced the Mammoth six times since their inception ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, and the Avalanche have posted a 4-1-1 record. The club also owns a 2-0-1 record against Utah this season, which includes beating them in the home opener when Nathan MacKinnon became the first player in NHL history to record a game-winning goal against 32 franchises.
Police in Northern Colorado are investigating after a crash involving multiple vehicles claimed the life of a pedestrian.
The Greeley Police Department received reports of a crash at the 5500 block of Highway 34 around 5:50 p.m. on Monday. When officers arrived, they discovered that two vehicles were involved in a crash with a 19-year-old woman who attempted to walk across the highway.
Police said there was no crosswalk in the area, and she was struck by the driver’s side of a Chevrolet Blazer. The impact knocked the woman into the inside lane, where she was struck by a Chevrolet Traverse. A witness told officers they saw the woman crossing the roadway ‘as traffic arrived at her location.’
First responders attempted life-saving measures on the woman at the scene before she was taken to North Colorado Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. GPD said the Weld County Coroner’s Office will release her identity at a later time.
Neither driver involved was injured in the crash. Police said they don’t expect charges to be filed against those drivers at the moment, but the case remains under investigation. The police department asked anyone with information on the crash to contact Officer Ed Kubala at Edward.Kubala@greeleypd.com.
