The New York Giants need a quarterback—badly. Sitting at 2-12, the team is careening toward one of its worst seasons in franchise history, with no long-term solution under center. Enter Shedeur Sanders, the electric Colorado signal-caller who’s been the talk of the 2025 NFL Draft class.
When Sanders recently spoke on his 2Legendary podcast, he delivered a line that encapsulates the kind of swagger and poise he brings to the field: “Wherever things end up, I’ll be fine.” It’s a simple statement, but one that speaks volumes. Turn up the Bob Marley because "every little thing is gonna be alright."
Sanders isn’t worried about the pressure of the NFL spotlight. He’s already radiating the kind of confidence that can elevate a franchise—a quality the Giants desperately need.
For Big Blue, that level of belief in oneself is exactly what’s been missing. The revolving door of quarterbacks, since Eli Manning’s retirement has left the team stuck in neutral, and a player with Sanders’ mindset and talent, could be the key to turning things around.
Shedeur Sanders is ready for the New York spotlight
Sanders’ “I’ll be fine” attitude isn’t about arrogance—it’s about readiness. He’s shown he can handle the weight of expectations, both as the son of Deion Sanders and as the face of Colorado’s resurgence this season. His poise on and off the field is a stark contrast to the uncertainty that’s plagued the Giants’ quarterback room.
This season, he’s thrown for nearly 4,000 yards and 35 touchdowns while leading the nation in completion percentage. He’s excelled behind a subpar offensive line at Colorado, demonstrating the kind of adaptability and toughness the Giants’ offense sorely needs.
If the Giants are lucky enough to land Sanders in the draft, it won’t matter where they’re starting from as a franchise. He’s the kind of player who can change a team’s trajectory simply by stepping into the locker room. That’s not just confidence talking—it’s leadership.
The Giants don’t need to “win over” Shedeur Sanders. He’s not picking his next team. But what they do need is to recognize the opportunity in front of them. Sanders’ confidence and talent could finally give the franchise the direction it’s been searching for since Eli Manning hung up his cleats.
Sanders is expected to be a top pick in the 2025 draft, and his declaration that he'll be fine wherever he ends up signals that he's not worried about perceived difficulties. He understands the nuances of franchise-building. He knows that with him under center, any team that selects him will be getting a winner.
Whether it’s throwing dimes to Malik Nabers (as he was spotted doing recently in NYC) or commanding a huddle in front of thousands of fans, Sanders has shown he’s ready to lead. Now it’s up to the Giants to put themselves in a position to draft him.
Because wherever things end up, one thing’s clear: Sanders will be just fine. The real question is whether the Giants will be.
