Sanders heads into 2026 with a real backup job, not just a developmental label. His camp showed poise, deep-ball touch and expanding command; he now needs to stay ready behind Watson while refining the small details.
Strengths: Confirmed backup role, first-team camp reps, deep-ball chemistry with young receivers, and steady Year-2 growth.
Weaknesses: Still needs more regular-season proof, and he must continue improving consistency and timing while receiving fewer starter reps.
