Video: Deion Sanders Hints at Shedeur Landing with Giants at No. 1 in 2025 NFL Draft

Deion Sanders apparently has at least some information on what the New York Giants’ plans are for the 2025 NFL draft.

Appearing on The Pacman Jones Show, Coach Prime said he knows “for a fact” the Giants won’t trade the No. 1 overall pick if they get it and he expects his son, Shedeur, will be taken with that selection.

The Giants may not even have their current head coach and/or general manager by the time the draft rolls around, so the idea that Sanders would know what their plans are if they get the No. 1 pick seems like a stretch.

Another problem is the Giants may not even get the top pick even if they lose out. They are tied with the Las Vegas Raiders for the worst record in the NFL, with the Raiders currently in position to get the first pick using opponent strength of schedule.

Things can certainly change over the final three weeks of the regular season. The Raiders are unlikely to be favored in any of their remaining games, but their Week 16 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars is a winnable game.

The Giants will be taking on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in the first start of Michael Penix Jr.’s NFL career. They also have a matchup with the always-volatile Indianapolis Colts in Week 17, followed by a season-closing game against a Philadelphia Eagles team that might be resting all of their good players if their playoff position is locked in.

Whether it’s the Raiders or Giants who gets the No. 1 pick, it seems unlikely either one would try to trade it. Both franchises are desperate to find a quarterback who can provide hope for their future.

The next step will be for that team to determine who the top quarterback in the class is. Sanders and Cam Ward are widely considered the top two signal-callers, with B/R’s NFL scouting department ranking the Miami star one spot ahead of Sanders in its most recent big board.

Sanders is the bigger name of the two, but Ward finished higher in the 2024 Heisman voting after throwing an FBS-high 36 touchdown passes.
