As Sanders aims to not only make the team but hopefully become a focal point of the team's offense, the son of Deion Sanders says that he stays away from consuming alcohol because football is his "choice of drug."
While many media members and personalities feel that Sanders was deliberately passed on during the draft because of his bravado and outspoken mannerisms, the former Colorado star seems to be doing the right things at the moment to mend his reputation.
