Shedeur Sanders may be expecting a call from the New York Giants when the 2025 NFL Draft takes place this spring.
Sanders revealed custom Giants cleats on Saturday night ahead of his final game with Colorado during the Alamo Bowl against BYU.
Sanders mentioned the significance of his cleats earlier this week in a conversation with his brother, Shilo Sanders.
“We know where we’re going, baby…We know where we’re going, baby,” Shedeur Sanders said at about the 6:20 mark of the video below. “You’ll see them in the cleats later on this week.”
When Shilo Sanders answered that he couldn’t know where he was going because “the team might trade up,” Shedeur Sanders answered, “You can’t get higher than one.”
The Giants currently have the best shot at the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft.
The franchise will enter this offseason in need of a new quarterback after waiving Daniel Jones in the second season of his four-year, $160 million contract.
After getting burned on the Jones deal, adding a new signal caller on a rookie contract could be a more attractive proposition than a trade or free agent signing.
Sanders appeared to reference potentially being drafted by the Giants in a November episode of his podcast. His father, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, recently expressed confidence that the Giants will keep the No. 1 pick and use the selection to draft Sanders.
But Miami quarterback Cam Ward could also look to be the first signal caller taken off the board in April after finishing his final college season as a Heisman Trophy finalist.
NFL scouts will get one last look at both Sanders and Ward in NCAA action as their college careers wrap up on Saturday. Ward and the Hurricanes played Iowa State in the Pop-Tarts Bowl prior to Colorado’s night game.
The quarterback prospects will meanwhile watch the final two weeks of the NFL season to see how the final draft order shakes out.
The Giants have two games remaining against the Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles. A victory in either contest could give a three-win team like the Browns, Jaguars, Raiders, Titans or Patriots a potential shot at the first pick.
