Myjai Sanders was an absolute wrecking ball against opposing offenses last season. The University of Cincinnati senior defensive end led the Bearcats in both sacks (seven) and tackles for loss (10.5) en route to earning first-team All-American Athletic Conference honors.
Sanders was also named a semifinalist for the Chuck Bednarik Award, which has been presented to the College Defensive Player of the Year since 1995.
Sanders was expected to have another wildly productive campaign this season, earning preseason second-team All-America honors from USA Today and being one of only two returning 2020 semifinalists (Notre Dame junior safety Kyle Hamilton) on the watch list for this season's Bednarik Award.
