What a difference a year makes. Our TE group totals for the entire season in 2021 was 31 catches, 251 yds and 5 TDs. So far this year, Sanders is checking in at 25 catches, 283 yds, and 5 TDs.

I'm shocked.  After the last 10 years of watching Texas football, it's like we suddenly rediscovered that we are allowed to pass to tight ends again.

I'm all aboard the JT Sanders hype train, though.  I hope the dude smashes every TE record here at the 40 Acres by the time he is done here.

Stupid question alert. Is Billingsley in the dog house? 

I sure want me some 2 TE looks with both Billingsley and Sanders running routes. That would be damn near impossible to stop.

He was suspended 6 games. He's back this week.

I work with a woman whose husband coaches at Ryan.  Last season she told me he is a massive athletic talent who in HS didn't really have to work all that hard because he was just that much freakishly better than everybody else but if the coaches can get him to put in the work will be an absolute beast.  Looks like Sark and Co has him putting in the work.

This tweet has two vids. Second clip features the dime Quinn drops to JT in the second quarter. Might have to clickthru to see it, though.

 

What's crazy about that pass to JT is Quinn's anticipation. Quinn starts to throw the ball before Sanders is even with the defender.

Somewhat disgusting that the best we could do with Thomas and Finley over their times here was 5TDs in a season.

Never forget that 2007 OU game where Jermichael was ripping Sooner assholes in the first half and then Greg said, "well that's enough of that"

Gates was just a big WR. Sanders can actually block, really well at that.

Sanders is up there alongside the best TEs in the country.

He is just scratching the surface. On that first catch where he unfortunately stepped out of bounds, I was amazed at how fast he was moving at that size.

I was thinking the same thing.  

Sure seems like Thomas had more than 5 TD's.

Also the game DJ Monroe got 1 touch for a 65 yard TD run and never saw the field again

So an explosive, playmaking, physical tight end with possibly the best hands on the team has no resemblance to Gates? Riigght

I remember being so jealous of OU for how they used Jermaine Gresham. That dude was like a Swiss army knife. He allowed them to go from passing sets to running sets with perfect personnel and no subbing. It created so many mismatches. It's awesome to see Texas not only have an elite TE but also use him correctly.

He's a complete badass.  Am I wrong that this makes me a little ragey:

Played in all 12 games … appeared primarily on special teams with the field goal unit.

Maybe he needed to get bigger and stronger to be an effective blocker but the hands and athletic ability were evident in his high school film.  I know, I know, how can you keep Cade Brewer and Jared Wiley off the field?

it's the reason J Mike left early. he was so sick of GDGD that he made his mind up to leave after the OU game, going so far as to sign with an agent in the hotel after the ASU Holiday Bowl, before we even flew home. a damn shame that his NFL career was cut short with a serious injury.

JT Sanders, through 6 games, is third in Texas history for TD's in a single season among TE's.  Behind Pat Fitzgerald with 8 (1995) and David Thomas  Derek Lewis 6 (1998).

I have a friend who is a Colorado fan, and we both agreed this is a Sanders year.  Sure enough, after we said that, on the last Texas drive, big 0 delivered an incredibly important block on 3rd down to lead to the next third down conversion which iced the game.
