Number Three: Emmanuel Sanders

Emmanuel Sanders was the highlight of the New Orleans Saints’ offseason as Drew Brees finally gets another Pro Bowl wide receiver to throw to. Sanders is a speedy wide receiver with a winning reputation.

Sanders has played in three Super Bowls in his career and has made it to the big game with every team he’s ever played for.

Sanders is coming off a strong season in 2019 where he put up solid numbers despite switching teams in the middle of the season. Sanders logged 66 receptions for 869 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2019 while logging a yards per reception average of 13.2.

Sanders has spent time with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos, and San Francisco 49ers in his career and has been to two Pro Bowls. Sanders will be an incredible number two wide receiver for the Saints in 2020 as they look to compete for a trip to the Super Bowl in February.
