Solak: Sanders lacks elite size, arm talent, and mobility; needs quick-release vertical throw to succeed.

According to Ben Solak of ESPN, Sanders lacks 'elite size to shrug off contact,' lacks 'special arm talent,' and is a 'below-average mover for the position.' To succeed at the NFL level, Sanders needs to perfect one specific throw: the quick-release vertical ball against one-on-one coverage, as it will be hard for him to create explosive plays otherwise. The type of throw needed is similar to the deep throws Russell Wilson often threw down the sidelines, described as 'moon balls,' which require great timing and placement rather than a big arm.
