The Denver Broncos’ Emmanuel Sanders became a fan favorite last season. It did not take him long, as he quickly endeared himself to the Bronco faithful. His #followmeE, and #AskE campaigns on Twitter (which I definitely jumped on), and his all-out play on the field have been the driving force in pushing Sanders to the top of many fan lists.

This offseason, Sanders has become a vocal leader of the team. Earlier in the offseason, Sanders made Broncos Country smile once again as he stood at the podium and boldly stated that this Broncos team should win a Super Bowl. It was a Super Bowl or Bust moment that this Broncos fan loved to hear.
Sanders is unafraid to speak his mind, and he has the ability on the field to back up his bold statements. I like that. You should too. When a player in the NFL is willing to go out on a limb, and make statements that might sound arrogant or cocky, it does not always go well. However, when Sanders speaks, it seems honest, sincere, and without even a whiff of hubris.
This offseason, Sanders has become a vocal leader of the team.
When Sanders spoke out recently about his feelings on the New England Patriots and Deflategate, he was not speaking from a point of jealousy, or malice. Sanders was speaking from the heart. He was giving you what you want, his true feelings on the situation.
Should Sanders have made his comments? Maybe. Maybe not. The fan in me loves what he said. He called a cheater a cheater. New England has proven themselves to be that time and again. Was Sanders right? Maybe. Maybe not. New England has proven themselves to be a tough team to beat over the last 15 seasons. It is hard to take away a Super Bowl win because a quarterback likes his balls a little squishy.

What I do know is that Emmanuel Sanders has become a guy who point out to my son. I tell him to look at how Sanders acts on the field. I want him to listen what he says and how he says it. Just another true role model playing for the Denver Broncos. Just another reason I love this team.
