San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders went through his first practice with his new team on Wednesday. Chris Biderman of the Sacramento Bee caught plenty of video of the veteran receiver during individual drills (no media is allowed during team drills) and combined them for what might be the 49ers-related tweet of the day, which is shown below.

The 49ers sent third- and fourth-round draft picks to the Denver Broncos on Tuesday in exchange for Sanders and a fifth-round pick. The receiver arrived in the Bay Area on Tuesday night and got to work on studying head coach Kyle Shanahan's playbook. He went through his physical on Wednesday morning, took part in a team walkthrough, met with reporters, and then practiced with his new teammates later in the afternoon.
Sanders is expected to play on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
