Giants QBs Ward, Sanders Expected to Skip NFL Combine Throws

Shedeur Sanders, a top quarterback prospect from Colorado, has opted not to throw at the NFL Combine, choosing instead to focus on team interviews to showcase his football IQ. He plans to throw at his Pro Day, which will allow him to work in a more familiar environment and choose his own receivers. Meanwhile, Cam Ward from Miami is also a potential first-round pick, though his participation in throwing drills at the Combine remains uncertain. The New York Giants, holding the third overall draft pick, are interested in Sanders but face competition from teams ahead of them that may also draft a quarterback. This trend of top prospects skipping throwing sessions at the Combine has raised discussions about its implications on their draft stock, with some analysts suggesting it shouldn't be seen as a negative. The outcomes of the Combine will be critical for the quarterbacks participating, as they can significantly influence their draft positions.
