How Giants can get Travis Hunter AND Shedeur Sanders in 2025 NFL Draft: expert

Welcome to New York, Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders?It’s not out of the realm of possibility, according to ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr., who recently speculated how the Giants can land both Colorado Buffaloes prospects after looking at colleague Field Yates’ latest NFL mock draft, which projected Big Blue selecting quarterback Sanders at No.3 overall.“I’m looking at maybe the best player on their board — it’s best player on my board — is [wide receiver/cornerback] Travis Hunter,” Kiper said, as covered by On3 Sports Wednesday.
