Sanders was expected to slide into Wallace's role as the deep-ball specialist, based on the fourth-year pro's speed and explosiveness. Ideally, though, Sanders is a catch-and-run playmaker who's adept at making plays over the middle of the field. He has a knack for snagging crossers in traffic and is a dangerous runner with the ball in his hands. To capitalize on Sanders' combination of skills, the Steelers frequently align him on the outside of spread formations before directing him between the hashes on square-ins and drags to get him the ball on the move (as evidenced in the video clip to the right). These routes are easy completions for strong-armed Roethlisberger, yet they routinely produce big gains for the Steelers. Sanders' underrated explosiveness has added a dimension to the playbook.
