Who is favored to be the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints after the 2025 NFL Draft?

The New Orleans Saints are facing a quarterback issue, and there is a real possibility that a rookie face would be under center for the Black and Gold in the upcoming 2025 season. There is growing speculation that the Saints may draft a quarterback, especially with Derek Carr’s injury. Derek Carr, their starter, is dealing with a shoulder injury and is listed as questionable. There has been growing interest in Shedeur Sanders possibly joining the team, especially with Cam Ward expected to be one of the first quarterbacks picked in the draft, as per ESPN. But, if a marquee name like Shedeur Sanders, isn't available at No.9, there is a real possibility that the Saints go after Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough, or Quinn Ewers (with whom they had a pre-draft visit as per A to Z Sports) in the later rounds, as new head coach, Kellan Moore, does not have any ties attached to Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener.

Shedeur Deion Sanders, is an American football quarterback. He played college football at Jackson State for two seasons (2021-2022) before transferring to Colorado in 2023. Sanders has earned the Jerry Rice Award in 2021, the Deacon Jones Trophy in 2022, and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award in 2024.
