Giants GM Ignites Shedeur Sanders Speculation Ahead of NFL Draft
New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen showed no restraint while discussing his interest in prospective draft selection Shedeur Sanders from Colorado. Schoen saw Sanders play up close during the East-West Shrine Bowl which drove rumors that New York could select him in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft.
Giants fans stand torn between waiting for a presumed elite 2026 quarterback draft class or firmly believing Sanders should become the new team’s franchise quarterback now. Rankings place Sanders as a top quarterback prospect sharing the top spot with Cam Ward of Miami but the Giants see him as an excellent choice at the position. The solid performances he displayed at Colorado have improved his placement in next year’s draft while his skills in public attention help establish him as an attractive candidate for a big-market team.
After their victorious game against Indianapolis Colts resulted in Giants slipping out of the No. 1 draft selection this draft progression has changed. Mock drafts mention Sanders as a potential selection for New York during every release cycle.
At the Shrine Bowl meeting Schoen solely expressed positive things about Sanders the quarterback.
The football intelligence of this young player stands out together with his strong personality which makes him a great guy. Avid football coach has passed down his vast knowledge to his son thereby manifesting his coaching approach in everything his son does around the sport.” Schoen explained during his Giants’ website interview.
Sanders’ family background creating classic quarterback traits impressed Schoen as he witnessed them along with his strong dedication to football. I had a wonderful time meeting him. His successful Colorado football experience continues to impress us as we anticipate evaluating all quarterback candidates in this draft class.
Sanders brings football lineage through his father Deion Sanders whose nickname is “Coach Prime” who guided both Jackson State and Colorado teams. There exists no evidence which supports Deion Sanders’ personality affecting Shedeur Sanders’ potential career in professional football and the New York Giants have shown no worry about the situation. Most NFL commentators support Shedeur’s influential approach since they see him behaving like a quarterback who can establish an NFL franchise.
At Shrine Bowl the Giants publicly demonstrated their desire to sign Sanders. The Giants’ head coach Brian Daboll cheered them up while the pair shared a handshake before moving on to their next commitments in the Shrine Bowl meeting.
The promotional buzz about the Giants obtaining Sanders exceeds anything we can state conclusively at this time. The Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns have priority in the upcoming draft which leaves the possibility of missing out on their desired quarterback at No. 3 for the New York team. Everybody from Giant’s front office staff to the fan base will watch closely in the moments leading up to draft day to determine if Sanders could be the pivot that transforms the franchise.
