Giants Eyeing a Sanders Sighting: Is Shedeur Headed to the Big Apple?

With the 2025 NFL Draft looming large, the New York Giants are at the center of a maelstrom of rumors and fevered speculation. With the third overall pick, the whole world is holding its breath for the Giants to make the deal for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the son of Deion Sanders.

The Giants' fascination with Sanders is far from informal. NFL analyst Adam Schefter revealed on the Pat McAfee show that the team's commitment to scouting Sanders has been flat-out extraordinary. "They've done a ton on him. They spent a lot of time in Boulder," Schefter continued, referencing the Giants' ramping up of work on Sanders' skills.

This level of scrutiny is not unwarranted. Sanders' college years have been nothing short of incredible. At Colorado, he set over 100 school records, including third on the passing yards list and first on the passing touchdown list. His senior year was incredible, with Sanders completing a record 74% of passes attempted for 4,134 passing yards and 37 touchdowns.

The Giants' quarterback position has been a revolving door of doubt in recent years. The Giants' recent acquisitions of Jameis Winston, Tommy DeVito, and Russell Wilson might suggest a Band-Aid strategy, but Schefter believes these signings will not deter the Giants from drafting Sanders. "If the Giants genuinely want Shedeur Sanders at No. 3, I don't care who they've got between now and the start of the draft, I still think Shedeur Sanders would be the pick," he insisted.

Sanders' possible place in the Giants is not only on the field. NFL commentator Bucky Brooks cites the cultural match, writing, "There's been a lot of smoke and a lot of connections for Shedeur Sanders to New York and he's been raised to perform with the bright lights and the big city."

But the path to Sanders is not uncompetitive. The Cleveland Browns, who own the second overall pick, are also quarterback-hunting. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has stated he's a supporter of Sanders, calling him "a very, very impressive young man" who "was raised the right way."

The bidding war for the services of Sanders indicates his potential influence. His stats at the collegiate level are eloquent: career completion percentage of 70.1%, 14,347 passing yards, and 134 touchdowns with just 27 interceptions. These statistics combined with his background and ability to handle pressure make Sanders a coveted player for any QB-needy team.

With draft day approaching close, the Giants' front office is faced with a tough decision. Do they go with Sanders as their quarterback of the future, or do they plug other huge holes? Whatever choice is made may decide the franchise's future for years to come.

To Sanders, the opportunity to play for New York is excitement and pressure. "There's been a lot of smoke and a lot of connection for Shedeur Sanders to New York," Schefter stated, "and he's grown up to prosper in the lights and the city environment."

As the countdown to draft day continues, the Giants' purported interest in Shedeur Sanders is still at the center of the NFL universe. If he ends up wearing blue and white this autumn remains uncertain, but one thing is certain: the next page in Giants football is being written in the balance, and Sanders might be the one holding the pen.
