Man, it’s wild how some people are total pros at dodging questions, right? Like, they’ll say a whole lot of nothing while sounding like they’re saying something. Case in point:

Malik Nabers. Dude’s practically the king of playing it safe when asked about Shedeur Sanders potentially joining the New York Giants. He’s like that one friend who says, ‘I’m cool with anything,’ when deciding where to eat—super frustrating and not at all helpful.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Malik Nabers playing it safe, or is he just scared to commit to Shedeur Sanders?

Have an interesting take?

Here’s the deal: there’s big buzz about the Giants drafting Shedeur Sanders. And let’s be real—the team could definitely use a quarterback upgrade after a season that was, let’s say, less than stellar. But when asked about Shedeur, Nabers threw out a response so vague it might as well have been a magic trick. His exact words? “Deion is very confident in his son, but that’s something upstairs that they’ve got to do. They’ve got to look over the film and see what quarterback they want. I’m not sure if they want a quarterback. I’m not sure. It’s not draft time, but the decision will be made when it’s time to draft.” Yeah, that’s a pretty vanilla answer from the Giants’ top receiver.

Even Deion Sanders Jr. couldn’t resist giving his take. On Well Off Media, he casually dropped, “That boy media trained.” Four words, but they cut deep. It’s like he was saying, ‘Yeah, Malik’s mastered the art of sounding polished.’ And when Nabers was pressed further, he gave an even more noncommittal, “I ain’t answering that.” Talk about sidestepping.

What makes this even spicier is the backdrop: both the Giants and the Las Vegas Raiders are battling for the top draft pick after brutal 12-loss seasons. And yeah, the Giants are in desperate need of offensive firepower. So, you’d think a player like Nabers might throw some support behind a talent like Shedeur. After all, they were just casually tossing a football around in New York during the Heisman ceremony. Coincidence? Maybe. But it sure feels like there’s something brewing behind the scenes.

Interestingly, the Giants are also eyeing Cam Ward, another Heisman finalist. But if they’re pinning their hopes on someone to turn their offense around, they’d better start making moves—and maybe get their players on the same page. For now, though, Nabers is sticking to his ‘no comment’ routine, leaving fans and analysts guessing. Strategic or just scared to commit? You be the judge. Meanwhile, Shedeur is giving his take on Nabers!

Shedeur Sanders on Malik Nabers this season

The New York Giants are not new to the quarterback misery. Since the start, the team has really struggled to put up a strong game on the field. Let’s be honest: 12 losses in a season with just 2 wins is quite shabby. With all these inconsistencies, the Giants finally decided to pull the plug on their quarterback, Daniel Jones, whose costly fumbles made it even worse for the team. Moreover, moving forward with Tommy DeVito, Drew Lock, and Tim Boyle also didn’t work, as they combined for 755 yards in total. So the team needs a change, and that is Shedeur Sanders.

Shedeur Sanders is the guy any team can blindly rely on. Moreover, we have all seen what the Shedeur-Travis duo did for the Buffs this season. The same magic could happen between Shedeur and Nabers on the Giants. Can Nabers capitalize on this? Malik has been vocal about his frustration with not getting as many targets as he’d like this season. He’s even said he doesn’t care if he drops a few—he wants the QB to keep shooting at him. That kind of confidence and trust could be huge for Shedeur.

Shedeur Sanders and Malik Nabers recently met up in NYC and hit it off like old friends. They chatted about everything from life to football, and Shedeur even talked about it on his podcast. Nabers had a bit of a rollercoaster rookie year, averaging 75.1 yards per game on a struggling team. He also faced some controversy over how he handled concussion recovery.

Shedeur showed his support for Nabers, saying, “It was tough situations that he was put in, and I feel like they try to paint him a different way because I feel he gives them the opportunity to do that. So we just had that conversation, like I just went through that same stuff with the media and with everything to where I understand there’s some things I can’t say and some things I can say.”

It definitely feels like a connection is forming between these two. Could this be the start of a special quarterback-receiver duo in New York, replacing the Travis Hunter era?
