Scouting Reports

1/1

Preseason Scouting Report by Michael Meegan

Created August 24, 2021

Projection: 1st Round
Notes:

(+) Length Sanders is LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. His length shows up on tape and he uses it to great effect on his pass rush and in batting passes as he had 5 PD’s last season.

(+) Mentality Sanders plays every play like it's last.  He competes every snap and he will chase until that whistle blows.  No one will ever accuse Sander’s of taking a play off. 

(+) Savviness Sanders has a nuanced pass rush plan.  While he is predominantly a speed rusher, he does a nice job of combining his length with multiple pass rush moves to get after the QB.  His ability to counter with both inside and outside pass rush moves is some of the best in this class.  

(-) Power Sanders has great speed but he lacks the power to bull rush and bully OT’s.  It hurts him in the run game as once a lineman gets their hands on him it's normally game over.  He has skinny legs and if he adds more muscle to his base this could greatly benefit him.

(-) Full Time Player Currently, I do not see Sanders as a full time player in the NFL.  I see him as a situational edge rusher you bring on for pass downs.  An important role but only plays about 35-40 percent of snaps every week and that caps where he can be drafted and what his ceiling is.
