The Bills selected Sanders in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 41st overall.
ANALYSISSanders (6-foot-4, 297 pounds), out of South Carolina, is more of a gap-splitting defensive tackle than one who occupies blockers, but the Bills like to rotate their defensive linemen to keep them fresh and deployed in roles that perfectly suit them. If he's free to disrupt then Sanders has the tools to do it, boasting uncommon explosiveness for a tackle (31.5-inch vertical jump, 112-inch broad jump). For now, Sanders will likely compete with
DeWayne Carter for snaps behind starters
Ed Oliver and
DaQuan Jones.
