WR Justin Brown: “AB and Sanders too. Just watching how everyone prepared was a huge help. They were all open and welcoming”
DB Walter McFadden: “Going up against AB and Emmanuel Sanders and working with them to get better. They were never too big to show you stuff and work with you.”
Scottie Montgomery: “The ability at the end to pit Antonio and Emmanuel against each other – to see their competitive natures was great to see. We had Hines and Mike Wallace there – we knew the makeup of the team. We lost Santonio and wanted guys we could build on.”
WR Markus Wheaton: “The wide receivers were a close knit group. AB, Sanders, and Cotchery – and myself and Justin Brown – we all talked in and out of meetings. On the football part, I latched on to Jerricho Cotchery. He was a veteran guy – he taught me the ropes. I’d watch him and AB and Sanders a lot.”
Trainer David Robinson: “A lot don’t know it but Emmanuel has a great work ethic. In the offseason he works out two-to-three times a day. He excels a lot in short areas with his quickness. He improved that part of his game and also excels on tracking deep balls. He and I watch a lot of film.”
WR Wes Lyons: “I thought Antonio Brown and Emanuel Sanders were a big help throughout camp my first year. We would study the playbook together every night when we went back to our rooms after practice. “
