On the latest episode of the Scoop City podcast (starts at 10:00 mark), The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported toward the end of the 2024 season the Giants had Sanders ranked as the No. 1 quarterback on their big board. "Once they realized they weren't gonna get Cam Ward," Russini reported, "Shedeur to them was their top quarterback."

The biggest storyline of the 2025 NFL Draft was Shedeur Sanders’ dramatic fall, slipping from a projected first-round pick to the fifth round, where he was finally selected by the Cleveland Browns at No.

An old conversation between Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward has recently resurfaced on social media. Back in February, when the gap in perception between Sanders and Ward was much smaller, the pair of QBs held a joint workout.
