New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers doesn’t seem so keen about the idea of playing with Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders next season.
Shedeur Sanders is the early front-runner to go first overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Tennessee Titans own the No. 1 pick, with the Cleveland Browns (No. 2) and Giants (No.3) rounding out the top three.
Sanders hinted at wanting to play for the NFC East team when he showed off some custom-made New York Giants football cleats. Up until their Week 17 home win over the Indianapolis Colts, the G-Men were in the driver’s seat for the No. 1 pick.
The Giants will most certainly have a new starting quarterback in 2025. But when asked by reporters about the possibility of playing with Shedeur Sanders, Nabers didn’t sound so keen.
“No comment,” Nabers said.
While it’s easy to naturally assume that Nabers doesn’t have any interest in playing with Sanders, the rookie stalwart is playing it smart by not commenting on such questions. Players and coaches know better than to cause unnecessary speculation about potential trades, signing and draft selections.
The No. 6 pick of 2024 racked up 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in his first NFL season. As for Shedeur Sanders, he threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 picks in his 2024 campaign.
Shedeur Sanders Could Save The Giants Franchise
The Titans also need a quarterback, so Giants fans have to be careful in holding out hope for Shedeur coming to the Meadowlands. Of course, Tennessee could have more interest in Miami dual-threat quarterback Cam Ward.
If the Titans aren’t entirely sold on Sanders, the Giants could also try and trade up for his services. Quarterback prospects of his caliber don’t come around too often, and a Sanders-Nabers tandem could elevate this franchise after yet another miserable season.
