Saunders is the signal caller for a run heavy offense yet possesses the tools to expand the passing attack and elevate the unit’s overall ceiling. A true dual-threat quarterback, Saunders has the arm talent as well as sound decision making, giving his offensive coordinator flexibility in game planning.

HT: 5’11 WT: 156.2 Wingspan: 73″ Hand: 8.5″ 40: 5.01 L-Drill: 7.45 Broad Jump: 9 ft 11 in Pro Shuttle: 4.62
Saunders showed off his very good athletic ability throughout this season, and this event was no different. Saunders came in 2nd amongst all players in the broad jump: jumping 9 ft 11 in. He did well during the testing, however he shined in the individual drills and 7 on 7. During the coaching, he remained attentive and listened. Implementing what was taught into the 7 on 7s. Saunders has smooth spiral with a quick release. He has very good ball placement skills and touch on his throws making it easier for the receiver to catch! Great job by the young QB!
