Brian Daboll, the head coach of the New York Giants, will not attend Colorado’s Pro Day on Friday, despite its potential implications for the team’s No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. This Pro Day features Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, two standout players from the Colorado football program.
Daboll has expressed a preference for private workouts, particularly for quarterbacks, rather than attending Pro Days. This is notable given the Giants’ ongoing quarterback situation. Last week, Daboll also chose not to attend Miami’s Pro Day, which featured likely No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward.
Sanders has been considered a logical choice for the Giants at No. 3 throughout the offseason. However, recent comments from general manager Joe Schoen suggest that the team will not force a selection if they do not see Sanders as a franchise quarterback. This uncertainty opens up the possibility that the Giants may select Hunter instead of Sanders, even with their clear need at quarterback.
The Giants are expected to wait until after workouts to finalize their decision on Sanders and other quarterbacks in the draft class. Hunter is likely to visit the Giants, further influencing their evaluation process.
As the draft picture becomes clearer, it is speculated that Cam Ward will go No. 1 overall to the Tennessee Titans, with the Cleveland Browns potentially selecting Abdul Carter at No. 2. If this scenario unfolds, the Giants could be faced with a decision between Sanders and Hunter.
With Daboll opting out of attending Colorado’s Pro Day, the focus now shifts to which members of the Giants’ organization will be present to evaluate Sanders and Hunter’s performance.
