BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter at center also played four games with the first team as a freshman. All-Conference selection as a senior.

POSITIVES: Sanders has the size and skill to play at the next level. He's been dependable and durable for Colorado, and he is one of the more underrated centers in his draft. His intensity and dedication to the sport will dictate if he has a future in the NFL.

NEGATIVES: Not a dominant blocker who opens up the middle of the field. NFL scouts have questioned his love for football.

ANALYSIS: Nice-sized center that does the little things well. Bends his knees, blocks with a wide base, and flashes strength at the point of attack, with the ability to handle one-on-one blocking assignments. Keeps his feet moving, and displays skill sliding in space. Quickly gets his hands into defenders, displays good pop at the point of attack, and technically sound. Stays square, and effectively uses body positioning to seal defenders from the action. Keeps his head on a swivel and quarterbacks the offensive line.

PROJECTION: 6-7
