Shedeur Sanders to New York Giants hype in overdrive after Joe Schoen was seen at a Colorado practice

Would you love it or hate it?

A viral video of New York Giants GM Joe Schoen and other Giants’ decision-makers at a Colorado football practice on Tuesday has both proponents and opponents of Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders being the Giants’ next quarterback taking to social media to offer their opinions.

Here is the video:

From left, that is assistant GM Brandon Brown, Schoen, special assistant to the GM Jessie Armstead and director of player personnel Tim McDonnell talking to Colorado coach Deion Sanders. Sanders, of course, is Shedeur’s father.

Sanders is considered by many to be the top quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. The 2-9 Giants, who have a chance to end up with the No. 1 overall pick, need a new franchise quarterback after finally parting ways with Daniel Jones after 5½ seasons.

Sanders is immensely talented, but does not come without warnings. The first is that he is Deion’s son, and Deion Sanders has made it clear that he will not hesitate to pull strings to make certain Shedeur does not land with a team the elder Sanders does not approve of.

Sanders, perhaps partially because he is coached by his father at the collegiate level, has been said to be entitled. He pushed an official from behind during the Buffaloes’ loss to Kansas on Saturday. Earlier this year, he left the sideline early during a loss to Nebraska, and was then critical of his offensive line in the aftermath.

Schoen — if he remains the Giants’ GM — and the rest of the organization will have to decide if they are comfortable with all of the things that would come with Shedeur if they were to draft him.

Schoen and coach Brian Daboll have not shied away from big personalities. Edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux, Schoen’s first pick in 2022, is a player some shied away from. Wide receiver Malik Nabers, drafted No. 6 overall, is another whose penchant for demanding the ball and expressing his displeasure when he doesn’t get it — which we have seen over the past few days — was well-known before the draft.

Shedeur Sanders would be the biggest risk of all.
