"I look at it from my own point of view, I don’t want him coming to see me right now, because I want to get to where I want to go and then for him to see me" the rookie quarterback told reporters. "I don’t want him to come and see me get a couple reps and then he’s cheering like a good dad. Like, nah, you can’t be proud of me right now, I got to get to where I’m going, and I know there’s a lot I’ve got to do to get there."

Sanders also said he doesn't want to cause any distractions at training camp.

"I just want everything that I’m doing to be focused on this time, and I don’t want distractions. We know how everybody would take it, as taking away from the team, with my own dad showing up. It’s a gift and a curse at the same time."
