2 years agoFormer Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders officially announced his retirement from professional football on Wednesday. "I gave it my all. Every single rep, every single play, I tried to go 100 percent as hard as I can. And that's why I can hang my hat and say I gave the game everything I had and the game gave it back to me," Sanders said. The 35-year-old was originally a third-round pick by the Steelers in 2010 out of SMU. He spent his first four years in Pittsburgh before joining the Broncos, where he won his only Super Bowl ring and was named to the Pro Bowl twice. Sanders had three straight 1,000-yard seasons in Denver from 2014-16 and spent 12 years in the NFL. In total, he racked up 704 catches (1,136 targets) for 9,245 yards and 51 touchdowns in 172 regular season games for the Steelers, Broncos, 49ers, Saints and Bills.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
