The New York Giants will field a new starting quarterback in 2025 and it very well could be a rookie. With the third overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft, general manager Joe Schoen may be blessed with a choice.
Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders are widely considered the top two quarterbacks of the class, and both could theoretically fall to the Giants, who spent significant resources scouting them this past season.
Of the two, Sanders appeared to have been given more face time with the staff, including head coach Brian Daboll.

During an appearance on the DNVR Buffs podcast on Radio Row ahead of Super Bowl LIX, Sanders expressed admiration for Daboll — both as a man and as a head coach.
“We ain’t practice it,” Sanders said of their handshake. “He got a different kind swagger about him too though — he was cool though, he was down to earth. He understand kind of how I am and who I am. And I understood him, also. As long as everybody go into a situation where I’m not going to believe anything I see online mutually then it will be a good relationship. You know?”
Sanders believes that positive relationship could yield quality results on the field. And although he’s only spent a limited amount of time around Daboll, he feels they gel.
“But if you go into a relationship with all these preconceived thoughts, it’s never going to work,” he said. “So you have to go into everything genuine and let people show you who they are and, to me, he’s a great guy, great coach and he’s definitely a man of his family, so I like coach for sure.”
If Sanders falls to No. 3 (or the Giants trade up), he firmly believes East Rutherford is his next destination. He’s hinted at it several times already this offseason and that does appear to be the trend.
