Justin Jefferson’s Shocking Take on One NFL Team’s Quarterback Chaos Revealed

Justin Jefferson isn’t exactly one to hold back when it comes to speaking his mind — and boy, did he stir the pot this time. When Shedeur Sanders, once touted as a top QB prospect, tumbled all the way to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Jefferson couldn’t help but call out the teams who let this slip through their fingers. His most barbed jab? That the New York Giants — a team desperately in need of a solid quarterback — utterly missed the mark. Now, it’s not every day you see an elite receiver throw shade so bluntly at another team’s quarterback situation, especially when it involves a star like Russell Wilson and a baffling collection of Giants QBs. Makes you wonder — did they really underestimate Sanders’ potential, or is this just another example of NFL franchises getting quarterback evaluations wildly wrong? Either way, Jefferson’s candid critique brings a fresh layer to a debate that NFL fans won’t soon forget.

Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson raised eyebrows during a recent interview when he addressed the surprising slide of Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Sanders, once projected as a higher selection, ultimately fell to the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round.

This unexpected tumble left many observers, including Jefferson, questioning the decision-making of several quarterback-needy NFL teams.

Asked where Sanders should have landed, Jefferson didn’t hesitate to identify several franchises he believed missed an opportunity.

He reserved his sharpest critique for the New York Giants.

“I mean, New York doesn’t really have a quarterback,” Jefferson said, via Dov Kleiman.

Such a thought carries particular weight coming from one of the league’s premier receivers, but it is very rare for an NFL player to critique another team like this.

The Giants have a collection of quarterbacks that do not inspire much confidence.

Their top offseason acquisition, Russell Wilson, will turn 36 years old this season and his teams have won 23 of 55 games with him as the starter since 2021.

Backup Jameis Winston hasn’t held a primary starting role since his 2019 campaign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when he threw for 33 touchdowns along with 30 interceptions.

The Giants did select quarterback Jaxson Dart in the 2025 NFL Draft after trading back into the first round.

However, conventional wisdom suggests the Ole Miss product needs development time before assuming the starting role.

Jefferson’s comments align with a growing sentiment that the Giants potentially overlooked Sanders, who some analysts view as a developmental prospect who still has the potential to be a franchise QB.
