How ‘pissed’ Shedeur Sanders blew his chance at being a Giant

Shedeur Sanders did not put his best foot forward when he was interviewing to be the Giants’ quarterback during the pre-draft process.

The former Colorado star reportedly failed to identify errors in his mock playbook install set as part of the Giants’ pre-draft interview process, which is common practice in the NFL, according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.

“The Giants one, they give players an install, and there are mistakes intentionally put in the install,” Breer said via 98.5 The Sports Hub. “He didn’t catch them and got called on it, and it didn’t go well after that. … He was pissed that they did that to him.”

This was previously detailed by The Ringer’s Todd McShay last week, but this is the first time that we’ve heard that the Giants called out Sanders’ behavior in the interview and that the quarterback prospect was “pissed.”

Although that could probably have been ᴀssumed, considering the Giants were looking at draft Shedeur with the third overall pick in last week’s draft but wound up pᴀssing altogether and not even using a Day 3 draft selection on Sanders.

Sanders was selected with the 144th pick by the Browns, who had already selected Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel a day earlier.

“Shedeur didn’t have a great interview with Brian Daboll in a private visit,” McShay said last week. “An install package came in. Preparation wasn’t there for it. [He] got called out on it. Didn’t like that. Brian didn’t appreciate him not liking it.”

The Giants decided to go draft Penn State pᴀss rusher Abdul Carter with the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, opting to draft a quarterback later in the first round as Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart went No. 25.

Interestingly enough, the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Giants were still interested in the Colorado product had Dart not been available at the end of the first round

“I do believe had Dart not been there for the Giants, trading up for Shedeur Sanders was very much a possibility. Something they were absolutely thinking about,” Rapoport said via NFL Network.
