He possesses good vertical speed and decent acceleration. I have some reservations about his quickness, which I don't find particularly impressive, especially in tight spaces. He seems to be more fast than quick in his athleticism. He has very good body control and is a fairly fluid athlete.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can easily see from the tapes that he has good power, but he uses it poorly and doesn't seem to consistently utilize 100% of his physical abilities, which is especially noticeable in his run blocking.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has taken snaps in several positions, including in the slot, split out wide, and in-line.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanders does not have a developed release package, and his lack of quickness does not help him create separation against man coverage. He needs time to develop his speed to become dangerous, so anything that happens at the first level (short) apart from motions is mediocre at best, even weak.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the second and third levels (intermediate and long), he becomes much more interesting because he has managed to develop speed, and thanks to his power, he becomes much harder to handle for a linebacker or defensive back. Although he is fluid in his breaks, he did not impress me with sharp in or out breaks that left defenders behind.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He needs to better use his arms and work on his stem to have a lower center of gravity and be able to attack his breaks or changes of direction more effectively.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanders' usage is much better against zone coverage. He positions himself well and knows when and where to sit in his route to provide a viable option for his QB.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mainly used on drive, slant, or post routes, we should see the same usage in the NFL because it allows him to showcase his qualities in yards after catch (YAC).<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ja\u2019Tavion has very good ball skills, a good catch radius, decent upper body flexibility, and very good eye\/foot\/hand coordination.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He tracks the ball very well and has good hand technique; he has shown good production in making catches in traffic, though not elite in my opinion. There is a slight lack of \"physicality.\"<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is a good threat with the ball in his hands, has good vision, and is not easy to bring down due to his good power\/speed ratio.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In-line, Sanders struggled a lot and was beaten technically and physically.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He consistently gets beaten at the point of attack, does not have good leverage, and needs to be much lower on his footing to try to develop more strength.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When in motion, he is a good asset when he can be matched up against a safety, he generally takes good blocking angles, and is naturally more powerful than them.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ja'Tavion Sanders is an intriguing prospect but doesn't fit all offenses; he's far from a traditional TE. His play is very situational, and he can completely disappear from a game, having only one or two receptions (6 games with fewer than 2 receptions in 2023).<br \/>Currently, due to his one-dimensional play, it's hard to envision him taking on a No. 1 role in an NFL offense unless the offensive coordinator is willing to use him in a specialized Y position.<br \/>I evaluate Ja\u2019Tavion Sanders as a 4th-round prospect, but he should benefit from a weak TE class and be selected on the 2nd day of the draft.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ja&rsquo;Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas (Junior) De retour pour cette \u00e9dition 2024 de la Draft NFL, l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe de The Trick Play vous propose \u00e0 nouveau de vous plonger au c\u0153ur de l&rsquo;\u00e9v\u00e8nement gr\u00e2ce aux scouting reports de Rayane et Valentin.
