Well, it looks like social media is doing what it does best—twisting words, assuming things, and running wild with misstatements. Enter Shedeur Sanders, their classic victim. First, ‘arrogant’ and ‘brash’ tags hit Shedeur’s draft stocks, pushing him out of the top 10. And now the rumor mill made things weird for him, dropping him to No. 3 to the Giants. The reason? Deion Sanders. Shocking? Right. Unbelievable? Exactly. Looks like that’s not the case. Now he’s shutting down the noise, keeping Shedeur’s name right where it belongs.
It’s evident that no one’s draft stock has taken more twists than Shedeur Sanders this season. Right now, he’s the +105 favorite at DraftKings.com to go third. That means both the Titans and Browns would have to pass on him and Cam Ward. But here’s where it gets interesting—word on the street says Deion Sanders is the one who wants Shedeur in New York, with social media running wild over the stance, quoting his words as, “We are hoping for New York.” And that’s where the chaos began.
Look, a talented quarterback going to one of the biggest sports markets in the world is surely an impressive move. And there’s nothing wrong if Coach Prime even wants that for Shedeur. But the Colorado HC took matters to his hands and shut down the rumor mill with a subtle X post. “A lie doesn’t care who tells it. It just tries its best to outrun the truth. #CoachPrime,” he wrote.

See, the Giants do need to reshape their QB situation after they cut their ties with former franchise QB Daniel Jones because of his lack of production last season. And that’s not something they want to repeat this year. Now, their latest move?
Russell Wilson. Yes, you read that right. The Giants signed a one-year deal worth up to $21 million with Wilson, per analyst Adam Schefter. Now, that’s a major move. Despite signing Jameis Winston and already having Tommy DeVito on the roster, making this move with Wilson is interesting. And on top of that, with a full QB room, how’s it possible for Shedeur Sanders to make any difference in the team?
Everyone is spinning their own take on Shedeur’s potential draft position. Schefter mentioned on The Adam Schefter Show that the Giants are considering Sanders at No. 3 despite their search for veteran QBs. The excitement in New York continues, but Sports Illustrated’s Daniel Flick has a different take, sending Sanders to the Jets and having the Giants pick Travis Hunter from Colorado.
If not the Giants, then who? The Steelers had a strong defense last year, and with most key players returning in 2025, fans believe they could be just a quarterback away from a serious playoff run. Shedeur Sanders is seen as a valuable addition by USA Today, with his accuracy, timing, and poise making him a reliable starter. While he may not fully utilize the talents of DK Metcalf or George Pickens, the Steelers might not have the luxury of being selective with Russell Wilson and other options off the table.

Is Shedeur Sanders still going to the Giants?
With Russell Wilson in the mix, the Giants might not pursue another veteran QB. Adam Schefter shares the same view, predicting a competition between Wilson and Aaron Rodgers for the starting role. However, Shedeur Sanders is still a viable option. The Giants currently have two primary QBs, so they could focus on their existing roster and select the best available player in the draft.
And that’s exactly what ESPN’s Field Yates is trying to say: “There’s only one other quarterback in this class that I think provides that beacon of hope that you need, that even if you do add another veteran quarterback, anything to start the flow of that veteran, you hand the keys over to Shedeur Sanders and your success this year. Best-case scenario? You receive elite veteran QB play. However, even if Aaron Rodgers, arguably the top available option, ends up there, he is 41. The future is still important. You don’t get to draft third overall every year, do you?
He further adds to it, saying, “The way that you make it as the Giants head coach and GM is not by winning a ton of games that will be great, but it’s showing that you can develop this player, and the Shedeur Sanders is going to be the guy that can eventually get you back to the winning ways that this organization takes pride.” That’s a straight fact.
