Sanders put up 119 tackles, 13.5 sacks, and one forced fumble across four seasons in Clifton. Those numbers aren't eye-popping but analysts love his physical traits, and he created consistent pressure throughout his career.

According to PFF, Sanders is tied for second in this draft class with a 23% pass-rush win rate on true pass plays (screens, play-action and RPOs removed). Sanders is PFF's 48th-ranked prospect and is ESPN analyst Mel Kiper's eighth-ranked defensive end.
