Titans, who hold No. 1 pick, will host Shedeur Sanders, Cam Ward, Abdul Carter

The battle to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft will heat up this week.

The Tennessee Titans will host Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Miami (Fla.) quarterback Cam Ward and Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter for a visit this week, FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz reported Sunday. Tennessee holds the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft.

All three players decided not to compete in drills or athletic testing at the NFL Scouting Combine over the weekend. Sanders and Ward opted to sit out, with both players expected to throw at their respective pro days in the coming weeks.

Carter, meanwhile, has been dealing with a stress reaction in his right foot. It was reported that he could need surgery to repair the foot, but Carter told reporters at the combine that he wouldn't undergo an operation. He added that he felt around 90% and expects to be at full strength sometime in March.

Sanders, Ward and Carter are each expected to be top picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. FOX Sports NFL Draft expert Rob Rang projected all three players will be selected within the first six picks in his most recent mock draft, with the Titans picking Carter at No. 1. FOX Sports lead college football Joel Klatt had all three players being the first three picks in his mock draft, placing Sanders ahead of Ward in his ranking of the best quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Titans have also been open to the possibility of trading the No. 1 overall pick, with the New York Giants as a possible candidate to land the selection, NFL Media reported. The Giants hold the third overall pick in the draft.

Sanders has been one of the top passers in college over the last couple of seasons. He transferred to Colorado and helped turn the Buffaloes around
