Emmanuel Sanders Is Scared For His Life After Finding Out He Tested Positive For COVID-19

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will miss some time after testing positive for COVID-19. While many cases with athletes have been asymptomatic, Sanders has had a different experience.

“I just felt like I was like loopy,” Sanders said via Yahoo Sports. “Like I was sitting in meetings and my mouth just kept watering and I was like, what the hell? Why is my mouth watering? And it was like that feeling that you’re going to throw up, but I didn’t feel like I was going to throw up, but my mouth was watering like something was coming. It was like weird. And so I told my coach, I was like, ‘Dude, my mouth keeps watering like I’m getting ready to throw up or something.’ I’m like, yo, it feels weird. And then it was like I just felt like loopy. I just didn’t feel like myself. I was like, I feel like I’m getting ready to catch the flu or something. It was weird. So I told my coach that and he was pretty much the one who was like, you should go tell the trainers. And so then I went and told the trainers, but I just didn’t feel like myself. Even when I was running, how I was running, like my body, it just didn’t feel right. I was running, but I was exhausting so much energy into running that it felt like abnormal. I didn’t feel like myself.”

Emmanuel Sanders went on to say that he is terrified.

“Every night I go to sleep I’m like, ‘Lord, please, let me like wake up in the morning feeling good,’” Emmanuel Sanders said on the latest episode of Uninterrrupted’s 17 Weeks podcast on SiriusXM/Pandora. “Like, I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night and like, can’t breathe. And like, shit just goes south, right? That’s like my biggest fear in watching that shit, it intensifies my fears, right? Because people can say whatever you want and everybody could say, ‘Oh yeah, I’m not scared to get COVID.’ But in the back of your head, and you may think you’re healthy but in the back of your head, you don’t know this virus. Nobody knows anything about this virus. You don’t know how your body’s gonna react and you don’t know at any moment, like if shit will go south, right?”

Needless to say, Emmanuel Sanders last concern is getting back to the football field. He claims he has a fever of 102. Scary stuff here from Sanders.

Get well soon.
