Broncos' Sanders unconcerned about Manning's arm strength ahead of Super Bowl

Peyton Manning may be in the midst of a steady decline, but one of his top receivers doesn't consider his arm strength to be an issue.

Speaking with reporters ahead of Super Bowl 50 on Thursday, Emmanuel Sanders said the only concern for the future Hall of Fame quarterback was his now-healed foot injury.

"It wasn't his arm. It was just his foot," Sanders explained, according to Chris Wesseling of NFL.com. "Peyton's arm has always been good to me, in my eyes. He's never had a really, really strong arm. He's always been the guy that before you come out of your breaks, the ball is there."

Manning has been more effective since making his return from injury at the end of the regular season, throwing for 398 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions across Denver's two postseason wins.

Manning will need to be at the top of his game Sunday, as the Carolina Panthers boast arguably the strongest defense Denver's come up against this year.
