Watch 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders throw TD to Raheem Mostert

The 49ers' trade for wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders looks better and better by the week. The veteran showed off all -- and we mean all -- of his skills in the first half against the Saints on Sunday. 

After already scoring a 75-yard touchdown catch, Sanders showed off his arm in a wild trick play from coach Kyle Shanahan. 

Sanders received a handoff on a reverse from fellow receiver Deebo Samuel before leaning back and throwing a strike to running back Raheem Mostert, who ran into the end zone. The 35-yard touchdown cut San Francisco's deficit to 27-20 after a Robbie Gould extra point. 

The touchdown continued Sanders' perfect completion percentage in the NFL. The 10-year pro now is a perfect 3-for-3 with 78 yards passing and two TDs in his career.

His first pass as a 49er, however, certainly was a memorable one. Sanders is the first player in 49ers franchise history with a passing touchdown and receiving touchdown in the same game. 

Shanahan has all the faith in quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but clearly he will do anything to put points on the board.
