Coming as no surprise for a guy of his stature and gaudy return statistics, Sanders is a quick receiver with superb top-end speed and acceleration. He’s agile and fluid, making him a nightmare in the open-field or being one-on-one with a defender. Sanders is the kind of guy that could shake a linebacker in a phone booth. He has brisk and decisive cuts that make him a homerun threat as both a returner and playmaker after the catch.
Appearing to be a perfect fit as a slot receiver at the next level, Sanders will face some adversity due to his size. But that shouldn’t deter teams. His hands are very impressive on tape and he does a good job of catching away from his body and plucking the ball, despite his limited radius.
Playing larger than his frame suggests, Sanders isn’t an easy man to bring down. It all starts with trying to get a hand on him. And if you can, Sanders has deceiving strength and his low center of gravity in combination with his commitment and work ethic in the weight room doesn’t necessarily make him an easy tackle. He’s elusive in the smallest of spaces and he’ll embarrass you if you dare take a bad angle.
