They task them with blocking and Ja'Tavion Sanders fills that receiver specialist role.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Sanders is the Panthers' pass-catching tight end in a blocking-heavy scheme.

Ja'Tavion Sanders fills the receiver specialist role in the Panthers tight end room, which does not rely on tight ends as receivers as much as in the past. The source believes the Panthers' scheme mitigates not having an elite tight end like Brock Bowers or George Kittle, with Sanders handling the pass-catching duties while others focus on blocking.
