Best role
Year 1 starter as a reliable, accurate placekicker with clutch potential.
Wrong fit
Any scheme that frequently attempts field goals beyond 55 yards, as his maximum range is a limitation.
Sanders' accuracy and consistency within typical NFL kicking range make him a valuable asset for teams prioritizing scoring efficiency and field position.
