Denver Broncos wide receiver joins Jeff Reinebold to look ahead to the clash against Tennessee Titans

In 2006, Emmanuel Sanders enrolled at Southern Methodist University, over scholarships from four other colleges.

The wide receiver was a two-star recruit leaving high school, but became a highly coveted athlete during his time at SMU, due in no small part to his punt returning ability. He was drafted in the third round by the Pittsburgh Steelers, before moving to the Denver Broncos in 2014, where he won a Super Bowl a year later.

It was on special teams where he was coached by Jeff Reinebold, now one of Sky Sports' expert analysts. 

Jeff took the opportunity to catch up with Sanders, ahead of a must-win game for the Denver Broncos. Amongst other things, Jeff asked Sanders about playing with two inexperienced quarterbacks, the highly competitive nature of the AFC West, as well as Denver's tough run of games down the stretch.

As a coach, Jeff was also keen to find out whether Sanders had retained his diligent work ethic that he had shown in his time at college.
