Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: First receptions as pro
Sanders recorded two receptions on two targets for 22 yards in Saturday's 15-12 preseason loss to the Jets.
The Panthers didn't play any of their starters in the contest, so the fact that Sanders was on the field doesn't necessarily bode well for his position on the depth chart to begin the season. That doesn't come as a particular surprise considering tight end is a demanding position to learn at the pro level, due to the combination of both blocking and pass-catching responsibilities. In the short term, Sanders managed his first receptions as a pro, a good first step in his quest to move up the depth chart.
