San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders has made a bigger impact on the team in less than two weeks than he could imagine. After the game, Kendrick Bourne talked about how he’s learned little nuances from Sanders about playing the position. From getting off the line of scrimmage to recognizing coverages.
On the field, Sanders has been “decent,” as George Kittle said. The former Broncos wideout had seven receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown on Thursday night. Four of those receptions went for first downs, which is exactly what the Niners offense needed.
