The Cleveland Browns are finalizing their draft picks for the NFL Draft this weekend, and the tight ends group may be an area of focus. Texas’ Ja’Tavion Sanders is a potential prospect for the Browns, given his impressive college career. Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 245 pounds, Sanders was named a first-team All-Big 12 selection in both his college seasons.
In his two seasons with the Texas Longhorns, Sanders recorded 99 receptions for 1,295 yards (13.1 per reception) and seven touchdowns. During the 2023 season, he ranked 15th in the Big 12 in receiving yards with 682, and in the Big 12 championship game against Oklahoma State, he contributed eight receptions for 105 yards (13.1 per reception) and a touchdown.
Sanders’ performance offers a potential solution for the Browns, who faced underwhelming play from Jordan Akins and Harrison Bryant in the previous season. The video analysis by Sports 4 CLE host Dave Bacon and cleveland.com film analyst Lance Reisland provides further insights into Sanders’ abilities on the field.
