Big Al: Sanders crash ‘screams’ Broncos WR not in right frame of mind

Driving to practice at the team’s UCHealth Training Center in Centennial on Tuesday, Denver Broncos wide receiver found himself in a two-vehicle crash.

According to reports, Sanders was not injured when an 18-year-old Parker woman’s Hyundai Elantra stuck his Range Rover passing in the northbound median of South Chambers Road.

Both were reportedly cited for careless driving.

But it wasn’t that Sanders was cited, but rather why he was in the median, speeding and flashing his lights, that had “The Drive” co-host Alfred Williams questioning the wide receiver’s mindset.

It was that Sanders reportedly offered up the explanation that he was late for work.

“It screams that he’s just not in the frame of mind right now to be the type of player we need him to be,” Williams said Wednesday.

Both Williams and his co-host, DMac, posited that this would have been likely a bigger deal had Sanders played for a club like Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots.

“If he were playing for the Patriots, we’d be hearing about it right now, right?” Williams asked.

“I think if he was with the Patriots, he would be told to go home,” DMac said.

Williams called for Sanders to not only to not “endanger somebody else because you’re late” but to act like the veteran his is for the Broncos.

“Some of the guys who are looked at as pillars for this team need to be pillars for the team,” Williams said.
