The worst-case scenario for Shedeur Sanders was far worse than everyone could have imagined.
Not only have Sanders considered being the No. 1 overall player on several teams’ NFL draft boards in the fall, but he’ll have to get out of the first round on Thursday, falling all the way in the third round, and see if he’ll be selected this time on Saturday.
“Of course we’re doing well,” Sanders told social media viewers after the third round ended. “God should not make mistakes. We have faith in Him no matter what. Whatever it is.”
This will forever be remembered as one of the most shocking draft slides of all time, especially considering that the Giants did more homework than any team in this draft did with any prospect in their class. He had supporters in the building to take him like No. 3.
Three quarterbacks were filmed in the second and third rounds, bringing the total over Sanders to five. Worse, Sanders was the obvious victim of a cruel prank call while streaming Twitch from a Texas draft party.
“Good, I’ve been waiting for you,” Sanders said over the phone, and then realized that it wasn’t a real team call.
Giants general manager Joe Shane traded to No. 25 in the first round in place of Sanders and drafted quarterback Jackson Dirt, but declined to comment on Sanders’ slide on Friday after selecting defensive tackle Darius Alexander on the pick at No. 65.
“I’m not going to enter [that]Shane said when asked if Sanders thought his fall was better than what he suggested.
Sanders I made a giant-colored cleat For the Alamo Bowl, he made a catch with the Malik Narvers in New York City at the Heisman Trophy Ceremony.
He and his father, Hall of Fame and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, were pushing the Giants as their favorite destination.
The Giants did not meet any of the top quarterback prospects for the NFL Combine, sources told the Post, but ringer Todd McShay reported that Daball and Sanders had inadequate pre-draft meetings.
Asked about it on Friday, Daboll said, “We held a good meeting with all those who came here on 30 visits. The quarterback meeting was productive and I’m pleased with Jaxson.”
There’s not just one giant.

Sanders wasn’t a serious candidate for the saint who drafted 26-year-old quarterback Tyler Schaff on No. 40.
The Seahawks selected Jalen Milllow, who was No. 92, who attended the draft in person.
Sanders’ fall is as much about his field persona as his off-field persona after reports in a team interview that his rude nature left a sour taste.
ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. ranked the Sanders as the No. 1 quarterback.
“As a history lesson, I don’t know that quarterbacks are this type of personality and are successful,” an NFL offensive coach told a post about Sanders. “I don’t know which comparisons are there. Everything is important on and off the field, and I just don’t know.”
However, Colorado offensive coordinator Pat Shermer is a former NFL head coach with the Giants and Browns, with years of offensive play characters, and assured Sanders before the draft.
“A phrase that everyone uses, he can ‘make every throw’,” Surmour told the Post. “I thought he was very coachable. All players run the fine line between arrogance and confidence, but my interactions with him have always been great. He is a very confident young man, but what I saw with him didn’t think he was rogrant.”
