DENVER (AP) – Emmanuel Sanders is speedy, not greedy.
The Denver Broncos’ fleet wide receiver insisted he wasn’t lobbying Peyton Manning to throw him a fourth touchdown pass Thursday night.
He was perfectly satisfied with his trio of scoring catches in the Broncos’ 35-21 victory over the San Diego Chargers.
This is exactly what Sanders was talking about when he called Denver “wide receiver heaven” upon his arrival in free agency in the offseason.
“Of course, that’s the reason why I came here,” Sander said. “This is a great organization with a great head coach and Peyton Manning at the helm. I wanted to go to a team that spread the football around, that’s going to throw it, because that’s what I was used to in college.
