With the 2025 NFL Draft rapidly approaching, speculation is mounting as New York Giants General Manager Joe Schoen stoked rumors about their interest in standout quarterback Shedeur Sanders, as he excelled during his time in college, especially in his senior year.
Sanders, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, has emerged as one of the top quarterback prospects for this year’s draft. Following an impressive college career at Jackson State and Colorado, many NFL teams have their eyes on him, with the Giants seemingly leading the charge.
Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll were recently spotted engaging in an animated conversation with Sanders during the East-West Shrine Bowl, further igniting speculation. In a statement, Schoen praised Sanders, saying, “He’s a great kid with an excellent personality, football smart, and his dad being a football coach definitely shows. He checks all the boxes of a player who has grown up around the game and brings immense passion and knowledge.”

Recognizing the interest could lead to a selection
This high praise has only fueled the speculation that the Giants, who hold the No. 3 pick in the draft, might be looking to bring Sanders into their future plans. However, the Giants face competition, as teams with higher picks, like the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns, may also be targeting Sanders. The Giants have already shown their willingness to trade up to land key players in past drafts, and Sanders could be no exception.
During his final collegiate season, Sanders threw for an impressive 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, significantly boosting his draft stock. His remarkable stats and on-field performance have made him one of the most sought-after quarterbacks this year.
As the NFL Draft date approaches, fans and analysts will closely watch to see how the New York Giants navigate these rumors and whether Shedeur Sanders will indeed become part of their future. With Schoen’s expressed interest and Sanders’ promising potential, this draft could significantly shape the Giants’ trajectory in the coming seasons.
