The Buffs’ game against BYU? Straight-up rough. Shedeur Sanders was under pressure the whole time, and even Travis Hunter couldn’t do much to turn it around. It wasn’t the fairytale ending fans hoped for—both players wrapped up their college runs on a sour note. The Buffs fell hard, 36-14, but Coach Prime? Oh, he’s not sweating it. The man’s got plans—big ones.

Well, this isn’t the end of the road; it’s just the starting line. Deion Sanders has a vision for Shedeur, and rumor has it the New York Giants might be the perfect landing spot. Picture it: Shedeur lighting up the NFL under those legendary Big Apple lights, where stars are made, and cash rains like confetti. And Travis? Let’s just say a multi-billion-dollar franchise has its sights set on him.

Sure, college was no walk in the park, but the NFL? That’s where the fireworks really go off. RJ Young nailed it on The Number One College Football Show when he said, “What we’re looking at is also a New York market man. Like, that’s what you want if you’re Prime: you want to play, or you want your boys to play in a large metropolitan television market because that’s where your ad dollars are going to come from. That’s where all the money outside of the money that you get paid by the team is going to come from.” That’s a straight fact.

We all know playing in a place like New York means endless endorsements & deals, and Sanders is always up for that. Plus, who will want to lose the chance to be visible both on and off the field? Basically, more eyeballs on the screen mean more dollars in the bank. The real money isn’t just from the team; it’s from all the sponsors who want to be seen by those viewers. But then you can also not ignore the fact that the Giants need a great passer after the kind of havoc their quarterbacks Drew Lock and Tim Boyle have created in the game.

Shedeur Sanders isn’t the only big name on the team; there’s also Travis Hunter, and he’s just as much of a game-changer. While Deion Sanders probably would’ve loved to have both his boys on the same team, Hunter’s got a 5.5 billion-dollar franchise waiting for him. Looks like both of these stars are about to shine, as RJ Young added, “Talk about where Travis might end up. I hope Denver goes to get him because I think that would be awesome because you could—he’s a better wide receiver than Courtland Sutton. He’s as good a wide receiver as Marvin Mims.”

What’s your perspective on:

Can Deion Sanders' vision turn Shedeur and Travis into New York's next legendary sports duo?

Have an interesting take?

Even the Heisman winner has talked a lot about wanting to stay in Colorado. Hunter really loves the fan base there, as he said, “My neighbors know my car in the neighborhood,” showing how comfortable he’d be getting drafted by the Denver Broncos and staying in Colorado. Well, for now Hunter’s NFL future is uncertain, but it looks like Shedeur is just a blink of an eye away from his future team.

Shedeur Sanders drops a subtle ‘Giants’ hint

Look, let’s just be clear on one thing: the Giants need Shedeur Sanders more than he needs them. Well, just look at their 13-loss record this season and the inconsistent quarterback play this year; it’s clear the Giants are eager to draft Shedeur Sanders. Plus, Deion Sanders has been vocal about his belief that the Giants will ‘pick his son’ if at all they land the No. 1 overall pick for next year’s draft. But for now, despite a good money market, nothing seems right about joining the New York Giants.

However, Shedeur Sanders knows how to keep the buzz alive. He dropped a bombshell just before the Buffs’ Alamo Bowl clash with the Cougars, where he teased his pro football future. “We know where we’re going, baby. You’ll see them in the cleats later this week,” he said. Sounds like Shedeur’s on board with joining the Giants, just like Coach Prime hinted. But what about Prime’s pitch to the Raider’s head coach, Antonio Pierce, to take both Shedeur and Shilo? Looks like that plan’s off the table for now, at least.

Well, now the plot thickens! Shedeur Sanders kept his word and rocked Giants-colored cleats for the BYU game. Interesting, right? Look, if that’s not a sign of his future plans, we really don’t know what is. Moreover, it’s not the first time he’s been linked to the Giants either—just last month, on his 2Legendary podcast, his teammate Drelon Miller hinted the Giants should draft him. Miller’s hoping the Giants can “get someone good out of the draft” and wouldn’t mind seeing Shedeur team up with guys like Malik Nabers next season.

With all these rumors swirling, it’s no sure thing Shedeur will be the #1 pick in 2025. Could happen sooner, could happen later – you never know in this crazy game. Let’s just wait and see what happens next.
