Sanders is going against Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel, to try to prove his value as a viable option to start for the AFC North franchise. During the first week of training camp, the rookie didn't get any first-team reps, which had fans and analysts wondering.

Tony Grossi asked the player about it on Friday.
