Joe Schoen Speaks on Giants’ Potential Interest in Shedeur Sanders

On Monday, Schoen discussed Sanders, the quarterback position.

The New York Giants have formally secured the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL draft after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. After cutting Daniel Jones earlier this season, the Giants are in need of a quarterback and may be interested in one of the best quarterbacks available in this draft class.

One quarterback that New York will have the opportunity to consider drafting this year is Shedeur Sanders of the Colorado Buffaloes. After sharing a photo of his Giants-themed cleats, Sanders has raised rumors that the Giants may select him in the draft. In December, he was also spotted in New York City playing catch with rookie receiver Malik Nabers.

Joe Schoen, the general manager of the Giants, refuted reports on Monday that he had already spoken with Sanders’s camp.

“We haven’t had any conversations with his camp on any of that stuff. We don’t really control any of that stuff.”

Additionally, Schoen responded to Sanders playing catch with Nabers during the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York City.

“That one caught me off guard,” Schoen admitted. “That was cool. Unexpected. I had not seen that before, an NFL receiver and a quarterback prospect playing catch down in New York City. That was interesting.”

Schoen says the Giants will be looking at “any avenue” to upgrade their quarterback room, including free agency, the drafts, or via trade. Currently, Tommy DeVito is the only quarterback under contract for the 2025 season.

The Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns, two teams that may choose to select a quarterback with the top two picks, will be ahead of the Giants if they do choose to select a quarterback in the first round of the draft. Although this quarterback class is thought to be weaker overall, Sanders, Cam Ward of Miami, and Jalen Milroe of Alabama are all intriguing prospects.
