Former NFL Most Valuable Player Award recipient and first overall pick Cam Newton<\/a><\/strong> believes one team stands above the rest as the ideal destination for Shedeur Sanders<\/a><\/strong> in the 2025 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

During the latest episode of First Take<\/em> on ESPN, Newton championed the New York Giants as where Sanders should be hoping to land come April. He believes it makes too much sense for both sides, and it\u2019s tough to argue with his rationalization. <\/p>\n

\u201cTalent-wise, I do think Cam Ward is more talented than Shedeur. If I\u2019m Shedeur, that\u2019s not something to shun away from. I wouldn\u2019t want to go to Nashville if I was Shedeur. I would want to go to the Giants. \u2026 It\u2019s a perfect fit. That aura,\u201d Newton proclaimed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing that I do love about Shedeur is his ability to not waver, \u2018He\u2019s this, he\u2019s that,\u2019 his aura is engulfing. That can be intimidating, and when you think about all the teams in the league, there\u2019s a handful of teams that will embody that. I can see everybody in New York [embracing him]. That\u2019s who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

All told, the Giants (No. 2) posted a 3-14 record this year with QB\u00a0Daniel Jones<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0leading the way, and it was uglier than their record would even indicate. Despite the team\u2019s lack of past success, Newton thinks Sanders would fit in perfectly in the Big Apple, and it\u2019s not the first time he\u2019s implored the Giants to make a move to bring the quarterback to town.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn New York, I think they bumped their head enough times, and hopefully they\u2019ve learned from the Saquon\u2019s, they\u2019ve learned from the Odell\u2019s,\u201d Newton previously stated. \u201cThey\u2019ve learned from having stars in their building and not doing right by them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think New York presents a bigger pool for the Sanders name. What would that look like? And if we\u2019re talking about business alone and opportunity alone. This is not even about Deion, more or less than about Shedeur right? I think Shedeur has him written all over it as a New York Giant.\u201d<\/p>\n

It makes sense, as Sanders certainly thrives in the spotlight, excelling during his two years at\u00a0Colorado<\/a><\/strong>. In this season alone, Sanders erupted for 4,134 passing yards, 37 TD passes and four rushing scores while completing 74% of his pass attempts.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Cam Newton is onto something. Regardless, the Giants have the third pick, so they aren\u2019t guaranteed a shot at Shedeur Sanders. Still, the fit may be too good to pass up, as they look to shore up their quarterback position moving forward. <\/p>\n
