"He’s a guaranteed bust" - Ex-Jets scout doesn't mince words on Shedeur Sanders' 2025 NFL combine decision

One of the most intriguing prospects in the 2025 NFL draft class is Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders. There has been a mixed opinion on when he will be drafted. Some prognosticators believe he can be a top-five selection, while others see him as a Day 2 pick.

NFL Network's Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Buffs QB Sanders will not be throwing during the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. Instead, he will be focusing on interviews with potential teams. Former New York Jets scout Daniel Kelly posted on social media how he believes Shedeur Sanders will be a guaranteed bust in the NFL.

This is not the first quarterback Kelly has considered a bust; he has also been vocal about Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. In the last two seasons with Colorado, Sanders has completed 651-of-907 passes (71.8 percent) for 7,364 yards, 64 passing touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

It will be intriguing to observe how quickly Shedeur Sanders' name disappears from the board in the upcoming 2025 NFL draft, which takes place in two months.

What team would best fit Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL draft?

There are not too many quarterback-needed teams entering free agency, but Shedeur Sanders seems to be a good fit for one team in particular: the New York Giants. The Giants hold the third pick in the 2025 NFL draft and are rumored to be in the conversation to trade for Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, but Sanders may be the better option from now on.

Shedeur has been associated with the New York Giants for some time, especially after he donned red and blue cleats in this season's Alamo Bowl - colors representing the Giants franchise. With a young offensive core featuring wide receiver Malik Nabers, left tackle Andrew Thomas, and running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., adding another young asset is essential for the team.

The Giants are more than a quarterback away, so using that cap space wisely is significant for the team's success. Matthew Stafford would be an upgrade but could be a bandage on a gunshot wound. Shedeur Sanders can handle extreme scrutiny, which is what New York brings.
