Scouting Report: Strengths
- Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
- His passing game skills are strong. He’s a natural hands catcher who turns upfield quickly in the screen game, and Sanders shows a great feel for setting up wheel routes.
- A quick, smooth athlete with the footwork to make sharp cuts and redirect his momentum in a flash. Shows good vision and patience with natural running instincts.
- He’s aggressive and willing, with more than enough size, when asked to chip block or pick up blitzers. Sanders has the potential to be one of the league’s best in that area.
- Possesses quick feet and straight-line speed but doesn't have the elite burst to be a constant big-play threat. Improving patience as a runner, following pulling guards and makes good decisions on his cut.
- Sanders has the size and toughness to be developed as a pass protector.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Not the most instinctive runner and too often tries for the big play, dancing and losing yards. Lacks the natural power to push the pile and feels more comfortable avoiding contact.
- Sanders can sometimes be impatient, not allowing his blocks to set up, a nuance required for backs to last a decade-plus.
- Sanders seems comfortable in traffic to the point where Sanders doesn’t make the effort to create separation.
