NFL - Expectations for Sanders were sky-high when he signed with his home-state Nittany Lions. He was a top-25 overall prospect nationally after winning Pennsylvania's Mr. Football award in 2015 and running for over 4,500 yards during his career at Woodland Hills High School in Pittsburgh. The presence of All-American Saquon Barkley on the squad stunted Sanders' growth, though he did manage to get on the field in 13 games as a true freshman in 2016, primarily on special teams (33 returns, 688 yards, 20.8 average on kick returns; 25 carries, 184 yards, 7.4 average, one touchdown rushing; 2 catches, 14 yards, 12.0 average, one touchdown receiving). He played in 12 games with one start in 2017, receiving a few more touches (31 carries, 191 yards, 6.2 average, two touchdowns rushing; 6 catches, 30 yards, 5.0 average, receiving; 5 returns, 76 yards, 15.2 average on kick returns). With Barkley off to the NFL in 2018, Sanders took full advantage by running for 1,274 yards and nine scores on 220 carries (5.8 average). The second-team All-Big Ten selection, team's Most Valuable Offensive Player, and 13-game starter also caught 24 passes for 139 yards (5.8 average).
DLF - I am all about finding values in rookie drafts. Sure, there are players I prefer over others but each selection needs to take cost into account. For instance, while I like Sanders’s game, I am not planning to select him at pick five of a rookie draft unless he ends up being selected in the first round of the NFL draft. If that happens he will be a significant riser up my board and many others’ as well.
Running backs coach for AFC team - "He sees it well, but it looks like he's imitating Saquon (Barkley) with all the stop-start stuff he does. He doesn't have Saquon's go-go juice so he needs to be careful with all that stuff. Just trust your eyes and go. That's what I would tell him."
Draft Sharks - What Sanders has that most of these guys missed is that he's entering a league with a lot more committee backfields. If Sanders lands in the right spot in Round 3 or 4, starts with a decent role and is allowed to develop, he has the tools to become a backfield leader (probably not a workhorse).

Prospect Comments - CBS - Sanders, who played behind Saquon Barkley in 2017, is a physical, compactly built one-cut runner who is an asset in the pass game. He can run patterns out of the backfield as well as line up in the slot, and when targeted he shows soft hands and the ability to make defenders miss in open space. Sanders is a shifty runner through the hole who uses eyes and quickness to set up blocks, then sets up second-level defenders with feints; he's hard to tackle in the open field because of strength, low center of gravity and effective use of the stiff-arm
