Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Zamir White

Summary

Raheim Sanders is a tall, thickly built running back with feature-back size and solid speed for his frame. His vision stands out, processing blocks efficiently and excelling in one-cut situations. Though his speed builds over time, he isn’t sluggish at the hand-off but lacks the lateral agility for consistent success outside of a north-south style.

He runs with high energy, finishing plays with power rather than relying on contact balance. His quick deceleration adds some elusiveness, but his change of direction can feel labored. While he has pass-game experience, he’s not a refined route-runner, and his limited second-level burst prevents big-play potential.

Overall, Sanders is a physical, early-down back with a high floor but lacks the dynamic traits to be a true game-breaker.
