Malik Nabers Weighs In On Shedeur Sanders Sliding In The 2025 NFL Draft

It’s safe to say that Malik Nabers is a fan of Shedeur Sanders and may have even been rooting for the Giants to draft him…

On a recent podcast appearance, Nabers expressed a ton of frustration over the former Colorado quarterback sliding to the 5th round during the 2025 NFL Draft.

VIA Carmelo Anthony’s “7PM in Brooklyn” podcast:

“You don’t do that to somebody like that. You can’t knock his talent,” Nabers said before mentioning some of Sanders’ accomplishments on the field. “Some things you just can’t knock. Come on, bro. We gotta stop having feelings with how people play linger. Yeah, he might have some things he might say on camera, off the field, that don’t have to do with how he plays football.

“We’re here for one thing and that’s to play football. Everybody’s got different personalities… we’re all made different. So for them to judge him on just the things he says or how he carries himself… You don’t do that, not to a kid like that, that’s been working their whole life — that’s been told ‘Deion’s kids are never gonna be as good as him.’ And he plays quarterback. Deion played corner so he’s not even teaching him about that position.

I’m still convinced the karma gods stepped in on this one, but you can be the judge of that one after you read this post.

I really only had two takeaways from Nabers’ comments:

A: The guy lacks serious self-awareness. It’s not even about the Sanders comments. That whole interview was delusional, with complaining about a lack of targets again during the offseason being the ultimate cherry on top.

B: It’s pretty obvious he would have been thrilled if the Giants picked Sanders. If Jaxson Dart struggles, it’s going to be WWIII in that locker room.
