‘During his four seasons at Western Illinois, Saunders recorded 127 total tackles, 18 sacks, 34.5 tackles for loss and six forced fumbles. After a great career at Western Illinois, Saunders was invited to the Reese’s Senior Bowl to showcase his skills. Early in the week, Saunders learned that his fiancee, Ayanna Hall, was in labor. The two decided that it was in Saunders’ best interest to stay for the practices and appear in the showcase game.’
