Sanders showed that he is one of the league’s best kickers last season. He hit all 36 of his extra point attempts and was 36-for-39 on field goals.

He had 11 games in which he hit multiple field goals and two games where he was 5-for-5 on his field-goal tries.

A seventh-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, Sanders has shown that he is an important contributor for Miami over his first three NFL seasons.

Now, the Dolphins will have one of the better special teams units in football with Sanders leading the way for the foreseeable future.
