As the NFL season nears its conclusion, speculation about the 2025 NFL Draft is heating up. One of the biggest storylines centers around Shedeur Sanders, the Colorado Buffaloes star quarterback and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders. With the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders vying for the league’s worst record, both franchises could land the coveted first overall pick-and the chance to draft Shedeur.
Adding to the excitement, Giants fans are already imagining a future where Sanders pairs up with wide receiver Malik Nabers, creating a dynamic offensive duo to rejuvenate the struggling franchise.

Malik Nabers’ cautious take on Draft speculation
During a press conference on Wednesday, Nabers was asked about the possibility of Shedeur Sanders joining the Giants. His response was measured, declining to fuel the growing buzz.
“Deion is very confident in his son,” Nabers said. “But that’s something upstairs they’ve got to decide. They’ve got to review the film and decide which quarterback they want. I’m not sure if they even want a quarterback. It’s not draft time yet, so that decision will come when the time is right.”
When pressed further on whether he wanted Sanders as his quarterback, Nabers simply replied, “I ain’t answering that.”
Deion Sanders’ bold prediction for his son
Deion Sanders, never one to shy away from the spotlight, has made his belief in his son’s abilities clear. Speaking on The Pacman Jones Show, the Hall of Famer confidently stated that Shedeur will go No. 1 in the 2025 draft if the Giants secure the top pick.
However, other teams like the New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers, and Jacksonville Jaguars could also end up in the race for the first overall selection. If they land the top spot, they may either draft Sanders or trade the pick for significant assets to rebuild their rosters.
A star pairing in the making?
Giants fans recently saw Shedeur Sanders and Malik Nabers connecting off the field during a meetup in New York, sparking hopes of seeing the duo in action at MetLife Stadium. With two weeks left in the season, the race for the first pick and Shedeur Sanders remains wide open.
Will the Giants take the leap and draft Sanders as their franchise quarterback? The coming weeks will determine whether Deion’s bold prediction becomes a reality.
