The Panthers rookie tight end has lofty expectations for himself, as he should.
Since Greg Olsen walked out the door, the production in the Carolina Panthers' tight end room hasn't been the same, or anything remotely close for that matter. The most yardage a Panther tight end has racked up in a single season since Olsen's departure was 194 yards by Tommy Tremble which came this past season.
“We’re going to ask him to play the F and the Y in different situations. Known pass, he’s the Y. When you get into 12 personnel, he’s a guy you can move around a little bit more, maybe play him in the slot a little bit," head coach Dave Canales said last week about Sanders. "But right now, it’s just about the basics. It’s about teaching him the steps of the run game, teaching him the formations, and he’s got a long way to go in terms of just picking up the fundamentals.
“ is just the number I got. I’m still working for that zero, so hopefully by the time the season come I’m going to have that zero on. I feel like every rookie got to earn their number. I knew I wasn’t going to have zero coming in, so I’ve already had that mindset knowing what I got to do to come in and put the work in day in, day out to earn that number.”
