Giants, Shedeur Sanders gets reinforced endorsement from Mel Kiper Jr.
Mel Kiper Jr. keeps the Shedeur Sanders-Giants buzz alive.
The New York Giants own the No. 3 pick overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. After signing both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free agency, some believe the front office select a non-quarterback in late April. However, Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN isn’t ready to rule out the possibility of Shedeur Sanders going to New York.
During a segment on “Get Up” on ESPN, Kiper analyzed the situation the Giants are in. They have to wait for both the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns to make their picks. The popular NFL Draft analyst believes Shedeur Sanders could be available to New York and if they love the former Colorado Buffaloes star, then they could opt to select the 23-year-old quarterback.
Last offseason, rumors suggested the Giants were interested in some of the available quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft but they ultimately missed out on all of them. Instead, the front office selected LSU Tigers wideout Malik Nabers who has all of the potential in the world.
Despite that, not having a franchise quarterback proved to be the Achilles heel for New York. The Giants utilized four different quarterbacks throughout the 2024 campaign and ended the season with a measly 3-14 record.
Although the teams with the Top 3 picks of the draft all can use a quarterback it’s still unclear where Shedeur Sanders will land. Other teams that could opt to select a quarterback in the first round include the Las Vegas Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Los Angeles Rams.
