Shedeur Sanders goes on the record about his relationship with the Giants

The New York Giants are actively exploring their options for a new franchise quarterback, and Shedeur Sanders has emerged as one of their top prospects.

With the third overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, the Giants have made it a priority to connect with Sanders, who has impressed with his poise, talent, and leadership. Their courtship took center stage at this year’s East-West Shrine Bowl in Arlington, Texas, where Sanders met with Giants head coach Brian Daboll, general manager Joe Schoen, and other key personnel. Even though he's not playing in Thursday night's game, "Grown" is making an impression.

Sanders, widely considered one of the top two quarterback prospects in this year’s draft alongside Miami's Cam Ward, elevated his draft stock with an exceptional season at Colorado. Leading the Buffaloes to a 9-4 record and an Alamo Bowl appearance, Sanders shattered school records in passing yards (4,134), touchdowns (37), and completion percentage (74.0%). He was honored with the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, and first-team All-Big 12 recognition, further solidifying his status as a top-tier prospect.
