Sanders's skill set as a shifty, elusive runner with receiving ability makes him a natural fit for a modern spread RPO or West Coast timing offense that prioritizes versatility.
He projects as a Year 1 contributor in a committee, with the ceiling to develop into a high-volume starter capable of handling extensive carries and targets.
A run-heavy, downhill gap/power scheme that primarily asks for between-the-tackles bruising will not maximize his playmaking ability.
Sanders offers dual-threat production ideal for contemporary NFL offenses seeking explosive plays from the running back position.
Selected #53 overall in Round 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft by Philadelphia Eagles out of Penn State.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
