“What we’re looking for in him is consistency, day in and day out, and really, like I said earlier, it’s just reading your key, use your technique, and we’ll go from there, but we’ve got to make sure there’s enough leeway for him to use his God-given ability, which there’s ability there,” added Babich.
Leaning on veteran defensive tackle Ed Oliver has been what has helped him grow the most throughout camp.
“I’m always in his (Ed’s) ear, and there’s no question I’ve asked him that he didn’t have an answer to. He’s just been a great vet for me to lean on. He’s got a lot of experience,” shared Sanders.
While at the University of South Carolina, Sanders played in 39 games with 16 starts, recording 109 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks. In 2024, he was named first-team All-SEC and third-team All-American, and was also the SEC Interior Defender of the Year. That success was paired with an approach he is also leaning on now in camp.
“Just coming in every day, trying to get 1% better. It’s a thing I prided myself on since college, coming in and just having something, a plan to get better and be detailed every day,” said Sanders.
With the Return of Blue and Red practice Friday, Sanders is ready to step on the field and get physical. It will be his first time playing at Highmark Stadium.
“I’m excited, I’m juiced, I’m anxious. Just ready to get out there,” shared Sanders.
