The saga of Shedeur Sanders and Las Vegas Raiders being a perfect fit continues but this time, it's different. It's more substantiable.

Until now, the talks of Shedeur Sanders going to the Las Vegas Raiders were based mostly on analysis; Sanders' predicted draft position and the Raiders being projected to pick at around the same number.

This time, however, the "Grown QB" has given some strong, elusive hints to spice things up.

During his trip to Nevada to witness the Aces against the Liberty in the WNBA playoffs, Shedeur met up with the Raiders owner Mark Davis. Not just that, the two had a long conversation for a simple meet and greet, instantly sizzling up the rumors of Sanders' going to Las Vegas in the 2025 NFL draft.

Additionally, Sanders also shook hands with Kyrie Irving while exchanging pleasantries and snapped some pictures with Floyd Mayweather and E-40.

Sanders is already in-vouge among celebrity athletes. The real question here is his reputation as a QB for the 2025 NFL draft board.

Mark Davis sends a strong hint to Shedeur Sanders

While a "long conversation" between Sanders and Davis was enough to spark strong rumors with the 2025 draft talks in full swing, there was something else said that further intensified the rumors.

It was only earlier this week that PFF's mock draft board predicted that the odds of the Raiders making a splash for Sanders are pretty high.

"I've watched all your games," the owner of the Raiders said to Sanders. With the talks of Sanders going to the Raiders by the analyst and then Davis confessing he has an eye on Sanders, the two do look like a perfect match made in the NFL world.
