NFL rookies turning heads: 4. Drew Sanders, Denver Broncos, LB

A third-round pick from Arkansas, Sanders has a unique frame to him. A tall linebacker but with great anticipation of the snap count. It probably explains why Denver felt he would come in and make an impact. According to early reports, it looks like Sanders is exactly that and more. CBS Sports reported Sanders had an early pick-six that caught the eye of coaches and players alike.

"“Drew is an unreal athlete,” fellow Broncos rookie Marvin Mims Jr. said, via SI.com. “He’s looked like that since senior year in high school. I mean, the dude is unbelievable.”"

Hmm. Unreal? Well, bless those scales and feathers. If Sanders can live up to that name, two groups of Sanders could be making noise in the Rocky Mountain state (Deion Sanders and Colorado).
