Ja’Tavion Sanders is one of the college football players who has declared for the 2024 NFL Draft. Having finished his junior year of college at the University of Texas, Sanders is now looking to take the next step and enter the professional football world of the NFL. Playing for the Texas Longhorns, the talented player spent three years playing in the tight end position where he has gained a commendable reputation.
Sanders has a big frame that is ideal for the tight-end position. His 6 feet 4 inches height along with an approximate weight of 243 lb means that strength is not his weakness. He can power his way through while being difficult to tackle. Despite his frame, the other positive is that he does not lack in speed as well. This is evidenced several times on film when he has been wide open for catches.
Even though Sanders is a force to deal with as a pass catcher, there area of his game that still needs to be worked upon is his blocking. He is many times overpowered by stronger defensive linemen which will be a bigger cause for concern at the next level.
The 2024 NFL Draft class is said to have few quality top-level tight ends which should ideally help Sanders’ draft stock. In any case, he is currently perceived by many experts and scouts as the number two tight end heading into the draft only behind the overwhelming favorite Brock Bowers.
