The spotlight is on Shedeur Sanders as the Colorado Buffaloes prepare for their biggest game of the season in the Alamo Bowl against BYU. Under the leadership of head coach Deion Sanders, the Buffaloes have made a remarkable turnaround. From a dismal 1-11 record in 2022 to a 9-3 record this season, Colorado finished ranked 23rd in the nation and has a chance to secure its first 10-win season since 2016. Leading the way is Sanders, the team's standout quarterback and projected first overall pick in the NFL Draft. With Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter by his side, Sanders has cemented his place as one of college football's brightest stars, making today's game a pivotal moment in his career.
A Clear Cleats Hint Toward the Giants?
Shedeur Sanders has not only caught the attention of NFL scouts, but has also fueled speculation about his future team. The New York Giants, sitting at a league-worst 2-11, are in desperate need of a quarterback to rebuild their franchise. The Giants' record is the second-worst in their history, and their struggles this season have made them the likely holders of the first overall pick. Sanders recently caused a stir among fans with a cryptic comment: "We know where we're going... You'll see them in the cleats later this week." Today, Sanders posted a picture of cleats in the Giants' signature red and blue, giving a strong indication of his interest in ing the team. While Cam Ward from Miami is also in the conversation, Sanders remains the clear favorite in the betting markets to be the first overall pick.
In his two seasons at Colorado, Sanders has put up eye-popping numbers, cementing himself as one of the top quarterbacks in college football. In 2023, he completed 69.3% of his es for 3,230 yards, 27 touchdowns, and only 3 interceptions. He followed that up with an even better 2024 campaign, improving his completion percentage to 74.2% while throwing for 3,926 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions. Despite taking 90 sacks over two seasons, Sanders maintained his composure and showed his ability to perform under pressure. Regardless of the outcome of the Alamo Bowl, his draft stock is unlikely to be affected, as his consistent performances have already proven his readiness for the next level.
Can Sanders Save the Giants?
The New York Giants have endured a decade of mediocrity, with only two playoff appearances and just one 10-win season in the last decade. The franchise, once a powerhouse, has struggled to find a consistent quarterback to lead them back to prominence since the departure of Eli Manning in 2018. Sanders' arrival could be the game-changer the Giants desperately need. With a proven track record, a Hall of Fame father, and the ability to handle pressure, Sanders has the potential to turn a team with untapped potential into a contender. The question remains: Can Shedeur Sanders be the savior for a franchise hungry for success? Giants fans are hoping he's the answer they've been waiting for, besides the roster isn't as bad as their record is, but as of right now they're just tanking to get the first overall pick, which is why I don't see them winning any of their last two games against either the Colts or Eagles.
