Overall, while Sanders was an inside player for the Steelers, his skill set would indicate an outside “x” receiver role for the Patriots. He can do a lot of things Brandon Lloyd did, but better and faster. With Wallace and Antonio Brown on the outside – both are more explosive than Sanders – there wasn’t a need for him outside. But for the Patriots, he could fill that role. That being said, Sanders’ immense versatility could allow him to play anywhere – even Aaron Hernandez’s role as a hybrid TE/WR in case of injury.
