The Facts: When Sanders lines up, he is often the skinniest guy playing in an NFL game. He has managed to keep his slender frame despite eating like you and I do -- in fast-food lines. "I was eating bad," he said Monday. "If I was hungry I would sometimes go through the McDonald's line and grab me a 20-piece (chicken McNuggets). I would go through Burger King, just fast food because I was ready to eat now. But now I'm listening to my body a lot more.'

Diehards Line:By changing his diet, Sanders said he feels better now as he’s 30 years old and about to begin his eighth NFL season than he did coming out of SMU as a rookie in 2010. “Left that fast food alone,’’ he said. “Left certain things that made my body feel weird. From an energy standpoint, my energy level is high because of what I’m putting in my body. Food is fuel. I started to understand that. We’ve got this new offense with Mike McCoy. We’re going to be throwing the ball around so my conditioning has to be up and I’ve been working on that.’’ McCoy was the Broncos’ offensive coordinator from 2009-12, then left to become head coach of the San Diego Chargers from 2013-16, and is now back running the Broncos’ offense. When McCoy left for San Diego, his system was passed down to Adam Gase, who coordinated enormous passing stats for Peyton Manning in 2013-14, and for Sanders, who in 2014 set career-bests with 101 catches, 1,404 yards and nine touchdowns. Although Sanders still eclipsed 75 catches and 1,000 yards each of the previous two years in Gary Kubiak’s offense, he’s hoping the McCoy system will help increase his individual production back to 2014 levels.
