Good news for Gabe
Everyone kind of just assumes an older player will take younger guys under their wing. It’s not always the case.
But for Sanders, it’ll happen, and that’s good news for some younger wideouts the Bills have like Gabriel Davis. There’s several instances where younger players have credited Sanders with doing so.
Despite playing with the Saints in 2020, Sanders worked out with a player on one of his former teams, Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.
“He just [messaged me] and said he wanted to come workout with me,” Jeudy said via Broncos Wire.
“He sent me his location and I went over there and worked out. He was picking little details of my game and seeing how I run routes and things like that.
“I was learning a little bit from him as well. It was more of a, ‘What are you doing? Let’s go workout,’ type of thing really.”
Via NOLA.com, that happened with the Saints’ youthful pieces as well.
“I’ve been preaching to them, ‘Carpe diem, seize the moment, seize the day,’” Sanders said in December.
You know Sean McDermott will love this.
Change of heart on weather?
Sanders has played in cold places. He started in Pittsburgh and went to Denver. But then after going to San Francisco, he evidently did not want to play in chilly Green Bay last year, which is a reason why he ended up in New Orleans.
According to Packers Wire:
“It’s just Green Bay, that cold weather, Rich, I wasn’t trying to do it, man. To be in a dome 12 games out of the year in a pass-heavy offense or go to Green Bay? I can’t do it. I’d rather go to New Orleans. I’m from the south. My grandma is six hours away, can come to all the games. I can have my family drive up. It’s just a perfect opportunity for me.”
Welp… we’ve got some bad news for you, Manny…
