First time running with cleats on since I tore my achilles. 🙌🏾 I’m proud of how I handled the process. I did no complaining or asking god why me. I merely said this all apart of my destiny. I endured the pain, I made the sacrifices and now I’m back running. 🙂 God is the greatest and he doesn’t make any mistakes. Ive learned so much about myself and people thru out the process of me being down. I’m grateful. Training camp is a couple months away and I’m looking forward to improving each day and climbing back to the standard of greatness. As cliche as it is it’s the truth. “ Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% of how you react it” 🤟🏾

Sanders, 32, hauled in 71 receptions for 868 yards and scored six touchdowns last season. If he can stay healthy, Sanders will remain a key part of the team’s offense in 2019.
