Giants weigh drafting Shedeur Sanders amid media concerns

Shedeur Sanders is poised to be a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, with the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns among the teams interested in acquiring him. Despite speculation about the Giants potentially avoiding Sanders due to the media spotlight surrounding him and his father, Deion Sanders, former NFL player Greg Jennings argues that the focus should be on Sanders' on-field performance rather than his family ties. The Browns, who have the second pick, may also select Sanders, especially with questions surrounding their current quarterback, Deshaun Watson. Concerns exist regarding Sanders' readiness for the NFL, particularly his arm talent and off-field pursuits, including a budding rap career, which could distract from his focus on football. However, analysts believe that if the Giants trade up to the first pick, they could secure Sanders and offer him a chance to start immediately. Overall, the anticipation surrounding Sanders' draft position continues to grow as teams evaluate their quarterback needs.
