Ja’Tavion Sanders’ Breakout Moments Fuels Panthers Hopes
Ja’Tavion Sanders is quietly becoming a name Panthers fans won’t soon forget. The rookie tight end is delivering in his debut season, tallying 26 receptions for 253 yards and a touchdown. His rapid development has caught the attention of both fans and Carolina’s coaching staff.
Stepping Up When It Counts
Sanders has truly shined over the last five games, recording 18 receptions for 212 yards and his first NFL touchdown. Offensive Coordinator Brad Idzik praised his ability to adapt in high-pressure situations, saying, “He’s confident. He’s doing natural football adjustments… He sits in the soft spot as Bryce [Young] is scrambling around, and Bryce finds him.” This skill was on full display during a pivotal red zone play against the Giants, where Sanders finished the drive with a critical touchdown catch.

Understanding the Scheme
Brad Idzik attributes Sanders’ success to his high football IQ and adaptability. “He’s accumulating this understanding of the scheme, so now he can start to play the level 300 game of… how can I still get open?” This deeper comprehension allows Sanders to exploit defensive weaknesses, a trait rare in rookies. His ability to present himself as a reliable target for Bryce Young has become invaluable for Carolina’s offense.
After the Catch: A Threat in the Open Field
Sanders isn’t just a reliable pass-catcher; he’s dynamic with the ball in his hands. Idzik noted, “The after-the-catch thing is real… The more times you show you’re going to do something special after the catch, the more apt the quarterback is to get the ball into your hands.” Against New Orleans, Sanders turned a simple check-down into a 20-yard gain, showcasing his ability to maximize yardage.
