As the 2024-25 NFL season developed, it was clear that the two teams that needed a new quarterback were the New York Giants and the Las Vegas Raiders. With names such as Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward at the top of the Draft boards, it was evident those teams were looking at either of them.
Sanders had hinted at possibly joining the Raiders after he posted a video of Allegiant Stadium on his social media account. However, the Las Vegas Raiders won their 15th and 16th games which saw them rise up the league standings.
Then, the Colorado Buffaloes QB showed off Giants themed cleats ahead of the final game of his collegiate career. Then, the Giants defeated the Indianapolis Colts, throwing away a guaranteed shot at the No. 1 overall pick.
Those results saw both teams slide down the draft board, leaving the future of Shedeur Sanders up in the air. With more teams coming into play, the Buffaloes QB does not know which team will draft him. That led him to say this on his podcast, 2Lengedary with Shedeur Sanders.
I love it. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. What’s meant to happen is going to happen. I don’t feel like God would ever put me in a place I’m not supposed to go. We’ve made it. Everywhere we’ve gone and been successful. I’m happy with the order. Whatever happens happens.

When co-host Bucky started the conversation suggesting the New York Giants no longer have the top pick in the draft, Shedeur Sanders could not hold his laughter back. He knows the situation has been messed up and it could be the Tennessee Titans that pick him instead.
Shedeur Sanders vows to win games in rookie season
Shedeur Sanders has accepted the draft board. He knows he could now go to either of the three teams picking. On that note, co-host Bucky asked him what would lead to the Buffaloes star having a good rookie season. To that he replied.
It’s wins. Winning games, that’s the best rookie season you can have. Personal stats and all that, that’s not really what’s important to me anymore. It’s more about winning games, and that’s what I’mma bring to any team I go to.
Shedeur Sanders said
This was the 22-year-old’s statement to any team that drafts him. Sanders pledged that he would play to win football games and won’t bother about his personal stats, which for teams thinking about drafting him should be the words they want to hear.
The Tennessee Titans situation is up in the air as they just fired their GM but retained their HC. Which direction the new tandem decides to go, will determine Sanders’ fate. If they stick with Will Levis, and the Browns don’t select a QB, it is likely that the No. 1 QB prospect will eventually play in MetLife Stadium.
