He was eventually selected by the Cleveland Browns at No. 144 overall.
The former Colorado Buffaloes star has got down to work with the Browns right away.
He is in a four-way battle for the starting quarterback spot.
Sanders was asked where he’s most improved since being selected in April.
“Spiritually,” the Cleveland Browns quarterback replied.
Sanders elaborated on his spiritual experience by referencing a tweet he sent during minicamp.
“It’s a spiritual war going on. Trust in GOD,” he said at 1.57 am on the eve of camp.
And he explained that moment further to reporters at Browns camp.
“I was in my hotel room,” he said.
“I was talking to a couple pastors yesterday just about my purpose and everything here.
“It’s a lot going on I’ll say in my mind and I understand what peace is.
“I know I’m going home so I can just focus on the little things in life, just feeling the wind, hearing the birds, all that different type of stuff.
“It’s something that you value now. It’s something I value.
“So that was the main thing, hearing what he was saying and understanding the message of what it is he was telling me yesterday.”
Sanders also spoke about how his faith helped him through the adversity.
He was expected to be a first-round selection on the opening night of April’s NFL Draft.
But the quarterback was made to wait until Saturday afternoon before a team came in.
The Browns took him as their second quarterback of the draft in the fifth round.
They already selected Dillon Gabriel in the third round.
Sanders said, “After the draft, getting closer to God and definitely talking to him consistently, having a real relationship with him.
“That’s where I say I grown the most at.”
