Overview

  • The New York Giants are set to host Shedeur Sanders for a private workout on Thursday, one of his final evaluations before the 2025 NFL Draft.
  • Derek Carr's season-ending injury has heightened the New Orleans Saints' interest in Sanders as they consider quarterback options for the ninth overall pick.
  • Concerns over Sanders' athleticism and arm strength persist, with some scouts questioning his ability to transition successfully to the NFL.
  • Despite skepticism, Sanders' strong college performance, including 4,134 passing yards and a 74% completion rate in 2024, keeps him among the top QB prospects.
  • Trade discussions involving the Giants suggest they may consider moving down from the No. 3 pick to draft Sanders later while acquiring additional assets.
