Could New York Giants star Malik Nabers catch passes from Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders next season?
The chances aren’t that far off.
Sanders is expected to be in contention of being the top quarterback selected in the draft, with quarterback-needy teams like the Las Vegas Raiders and the Giants likely to have two of the top picks of the draft. There’s a strong chance one of those teams selects Sanders, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders.

Nabers, the No. 6 overall pick in 2024, leads the Giants in receptions (80) and receiving yards (819) this season, despite the franchise boasting one of the worst offenses in the NFL this season. He has also caught passes from three different quarterbacks in Daniel Jones, Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock as the team searches for consistency at signal caller.
Sanders, who finished eighth in Heisman Trophy voting this season, had a fantastic final season of college in 2024, completing 337 of 454 passes (74.2%) for 3,926 yards with 35 touchdowns to eight interceptions. He showcased his ability to make high-level throws, making him one of the top prospects in 2025.
While there’s still plenty to figure out in terms of draft order and which players each team prefers, a Sanders and Nabers duo would likely be a welcomed one next season for the Giants’ struggling offense.
