September 25, 20232 yr I'll be damned. I realize that Texas is usually a black hole when it comes to TE talent, but i would have figured Jermichael or David Thomas would have managed 2 games over 100. Sanders is gonna make some bank in the NFL.
October 1, 20232 yr The play was the textbook example why all OL get double braces. Hoping it stays non-structural
October 1, 20232 yr JT is going to be needed for the bloU game. Here's hoping he can walk this one off and be one hunnert next Saturday.
November 12, 20232 yr With the opportunities that Sanders has in this offense, 5 star TE’s should be knocking down the door to come to Texas.
December 2, 20232 yr Just now, Coach pop a bitch said: Hugely undervalued by our fans imo. He is the truth
January 6, 20241 yr Sanders declared for the draft. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39253551/texas-tight-end-jatavion-sanders-declares-nfl-draft Good luck. It had been a long time since we had a badass TE before Sanders. Edited January 6, 20241 yr by Lhorn

January 7, 20241 yr Dude is going to be a weapon at the next level if he lands in the right situation. I would love to see the Texans get him in 2nd round.
January 7, 20241 yr Go to the Texans or Cowboys… or the Chefs Great “goggaly muggaly!” Snickers commercial for the Chefs.Hook’em!!!
April 27, 20241 yr 5🌟 player talent that didn't take the weight room seriously enough -- not sure why he wasn't developed better. Really disappointing that JT did not end up drafted in the first 3 Rds. 4th Best Available Player 4th Rd per ESPN Edited April 27, 20241 yr by LTtxfan
April 27, 20241 yr Poor blocker + a terrible combine and pro day nuked his draft stock. Edited April 27, 20241 yr by Not a Sock
April 27, 20241 yr If he knew he wasn’t going to be a great tester why not come back to school and get stronger? Sure he would have gotten a fat NIL check.

Compare rookie check to NIL? Compare 4-year for this draft to 4-year for next ... IF he gets bigger, better blocking, better testing, and catches that do-or-die TD or sells the interference call. All things considered, I'd say it's a toss-up and the bird in the hand is as good a reason to go to the draft. Good decision or bad decsion? Remains to be seen.
April 27, 20241 yr This is really weird. He seemed to make significant progress with blocking this year. He had to know pre-combine what his bench numbers would be. Should have claimed upper extremity issue and skipped
April 27, 20241 yr A good bench/combine performance is highly predictive of NFL success- see HOFers Adam Archuleta, Stephen Paea, Mike Mamula, et al. Edited April 27, 20241 yr by Bozo_Casanova
April 27, 20241 yr JT is a Longhorn, so I will always root for his success, but let's be honest, he hasn't done himself any favors since the end of the season. I get that combine studs don't always succeed in the league, but you'd have hoped he could have performed somewhere in the meaty part of TE performance curve. His combine performance was abysmal. When I was at UT my "warm-up" weight was 225, and I weighed about 150 lbs. How the hell can a guy who outweighs that by almost 100 lbs not get more than 8 reps. It's stunning really. If he wants to stay in the league he better get his shit together and start gaining strength.
