There may have never been a more clear main event in recent East-West Shrine Bowl history than Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders. He's CBS Sports' No. 2 ranked quarterback prospect and No.

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.

Also in attendance for a portion of the meeting — though unexpected and only via FaceTime — was the quarterback’s father, Deion Sanders. The Titans, who have the first overall pick, met with Sanders for 45 minutes. The meeting also included a surprise FaceTime call from Shedeur’s father, Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders.
