Rookie Emmanuel Sanders' consistency might be the reason why he will be a key factor for the Steelers during the Super Bowl this Sunday. Sanders is not the Steelers first option, but when called upon he answers by always catching the ball.
This season he caught 28 passes for 376 yards and he also returned 25 kickoffs. These attributes will be useful against the Green Bay Packers, whose special teams unit was ranked 31st in the league.
Although he is not Ben Roethlisberger’s first option, he is considered a playmaker. Roethlisberger commented on Sanders’s role in a recent interview. “We are not calling Sanders every single play. It’s when we call him he answers the bell.” His clutch type play will give him lots of opportunities during the Super Bowl.
