Recent developments have fueled speculation about Shedeur Sanders potentially joining the New York Giants in the 2025 NFL Draft. The quarterback prospect has garnered significant attention after a viral video clip created buzz around his possible NFL destination.
The speculation intensified following a conversation between Sanders and Philadelphia Eagles fan “Gillie” that was posted on Well Off Media’s YouTube channel. In the edited video, Sanders appears to acknowledge a team selection that prompted Gillie to express dismay about Sanders potentially joining an NFC East rival.

Giants fans and NFL analysts have been closely monitoring the situation as the team continues its search for a franchise quarterback. Under General Manager Joe Schoen, the Giants hold the No. 3 overall pick in the upcoming draft, positioning them well to select a top quarterback prospect.
Key Draft Considerations for the Giants:
- Current quarterback situation needs addressing
- No. 3 draft position is valuable for acquiring top talent
- Head coach Brian Daboll’s experience developing quarterbacks
- Team’s long-term need for stability at the position
Despite the video generating excitement, it’s worth noting that the clip contains edits that make Sanders’ actual response ambiguous. The viral nature of the content has amplified the connection between Sanders and the Giants, though nothing has been confirmed.
Several NFL mock drafts have linked Sanders to the Giants, with analysts suggesting he could be the quarterback of the future the franchise desperately needs. However, recent reports indicate the Giants have been exploring multiple options at quarterback, including signing two other quarterbacks ahead of the draft.
The Giants’ draft strategy appears to remain flexible, with all possibilities still on the table according to NFL insiders. Some reports suggest the momentum for Sanders joining the Giants may actually be diminishing as the draft approaches.
The Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns are also reportedly in the market for a quarterback, potentially creating competition for Sanders’ services. Mock drafts have projected various scenarios, with some showing Sanders being selected early in the first round.
As the draft date approaches, the connection between Sanders and the Giants will continue to be a focal point of speculation. General Manager Joe Schoen faces a critical decision that could shape the franchise’s future for years to come.
