Shedeur Sanders Reportedly Wants 'Full Support' from NFL Team amid Giants Questions

The level of interest in Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders from the New York Giants remains a subject of uncertainty, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Schefter reported the Giants have scouted Sanders more than any other team, with one NFL general manager telling Schefter that New York GM Joe Schoen "has lived in Boulder."

"And yet there still might not be consensus within the building about whether to draft him," Schefter wrote. "There is a belief around the league that certain segments of the Giants organization want Sanders more than others. Per sources, Sanders wants to be in a place where he has the full support of an organization, and there are questions about whether the Giants fit into that category."

The Ringer's Todd McShay reported on The McShay Show that "there's still a little push from the personnel department" to seriously consider selecting Sanders with the No. 3 pick.

McShay added that Giants co-owner John Mara "is staying out of it so far," and he described the coaching staff as a whole as "anti-taking Shedeur."

New York went with Penn State edge-rusher Abdul Carter in Bleacher Report's most recent mock draft. The New Orleans Saints traded up to get Sanders at No. 6.

From Sanders' perspective, the Giants may not be an ideal fit, partially for the internal division Schefter and McShay referenced.

Playing in New York City would be great for building Sanders' general profile. It's not as though he needs a lot of help in that category, but calling the Big Apple home means having plenty of commercial opportunities.

However, landing with the Giants may come with some drawbacks.

They signed a pair of veteran quarterbacks who will be stiff competition for the starting job. Even if the franchise uses its first-rounder on a QB, you'd assume Russell Wilson has the inside track to lead the offense in Week 1.

There's also the fact Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll are sitting on some of the hottest seats in the league. New York could plausibly have a new coach and GM installed next spring, and a different regime may not feel all that wedded to notable draft picks made by their predecessors.

Sanders isn't a big enough prospect to execute an Eli Manning-like power play to wind up in a preferred destination. Maybe he's at least trying to put his fingers on the scale to avoid a situation that won't set him up for long-term success.
