Emmanuel Sanders has faith in Cody Latimer development

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders expects that he will be playing in the slot next season because of the development of Cody Latimer.

The 27-year-old was voted to the Pro Bowl due to his high level of play for the Broncos last season in his first campaign with the club as he started opposite Demaryius Thomas.

However, Sanders has revealed that he could be playing on the inside next season because of his faith in the ability of second-year wideout Latimer.

"I'm very comfortable in doing that because I played in the slot at Pittsburgh and a lot in college so I'm looking forward to that," Sanders told reporters.

"On my Twitter, I'm vocal about Cody because I believe in Cody. Cody is a special player. He has strong hands and is a physical tool.

"I think this is going to be the year that he jumps onto the scene. I think he's going to have a big year and I'm happy he's on my team and in our receiver group."

Sanders recorded 101 receptions for 1,404 yards and nine touchdowns for the Broncos last season.
