What’s in store for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders That’s the big question as the highly touted signal-caller prepares for what could be a first-round selection in the NFL Draft.
Exactly when he’ll come off the board remains uncertain. During an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, NFL insider Ian Rapoport turned heads by suggesting that Sanders is still being considered by the New York Giants with the No. 3 overall pick.
This surprised a lot of people, especially since it appeared that Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll had recently shifted their focus toward Abdul Carter. However, Adam Schefter quickly shut down the Shedeur Sanders-to-New York speculation, stating on NFL Live that it’s simply not going to happen.
Shedeur Sanders won’t be drafted by the NY Giants according to Adam Schefter
If you were thinking about grabbing a Shedeur Sanders Giants jersey, you might want to hold off—because it’s not happening. Sanders’ draft stock has been trending downward recently, while Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart is gaining momentum and could potentially sneak into the Top 10 to 15 picks.
As for the Giants, it’s starting to look like Abdul Carter is their guy at No. 3 overall. Adding him would bolster an already fierce pass rush that includes Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence, and Kayvon Thibodeaux—though trade rumors continue to swirl around Thibodeaux.
Meanwhile, Sanders will have to wait and see where he lands. There’s growing speculation that if he slips to No. 21, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike Tomlin could pounce. While the hope is that he doesn’t slide that far, anything can happen on draft night. One thing that seems certain: Joe Schoen won’t be calling Sanders’ name to be Daniel Jones’ successor in New York.
