New York Giants next potential franchise quarterback links up with star WR
There may be a bit of foreshadowing going on in the streets of New York City.
Colorado star quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, was spotted playing a game of catch with New York Giants star wide receiver, Malik Nabers in the streets of the Big Apple.
Let the speculation begin.
It’s no secret that the Giants are in desperate need for a franchise quarterback this offseason.
Sitting at 2-11, with the current second overall pick in the draft, it’s all but a given that the G-Men will take a QB.
The question is, will Sanders be available with the second pick?
The Las Vegas Raiders, who are also in dire need for a quarterback, currently have the first overall pick.
Sanders has been linked to the Raiders as well.
It’s going to be an exciting build up to the draft, and with four weeks left in the regular season, the draft order is still in flux.
Sanders is currently in NYC for the Heisman Trophy ceremony to support his teammate, superstar two-way phenom, Travis Hunter, who is the betting favorite to take home the award.
Both Sanders and Hunter are protected to be top picks in the draft,
Behind the two of them, they helped lead Colorado to the program’s first winning record since 2016, finishing at 9-3.
Sanders’ father, Deion Sanders, has been at the helm of the program the last two seasons, proving the naysayers and doubters wrong.
The Buffaloes will play the BYU Cougars in the Alamo Bowl on December 28th.
Colorado will be looking for their first bowl victory since 2004, when they beat UTEP 33-28, in the 2004 EV1.net Houston Bowl.
It’s been a twenty-year drought that both Sanders and Hunter will be looking to break.
On the receiving end of Sanders’ passes, is Nabers.
The rookie has had a solid first year in the league, totaling 80 receptions for 819 yards and three touchdowns in just 11 games.
He’s been doing this with a revolving door at quarterback, while also missing a couple of games due to injury.
He has the talent to be an elite wide receiver, and pairing him with a quarterback with Sanders pedigree, will only take his game to the next level.
The Giants have been longing for a franchise quarterback since Eli Manning retired after the 2019 season.
They thought they had found their guy in Daniel Jones, but he has since been released.
Giants fans may have caught a glimpse of their future, in Nabers catching passes from Sanders.
From the streets of New York City, to the field at MetLife Stadium, Giants fans can only hope.
