Miles Sanders showed Eagles fans and analyst last season that he could carry the load as a three-down NFL running back.
Now for his second act, Sanders will set out to prove that he’s a top-10 back in the league, capable of potentially reaching the top-5.
In there first post-draft fantasy football rankings, CBS Sports had the Eagles young star as a top-6 running back in various rankings.
Sanders, who is hoping to emulate Christian McCaffrey’s dual-threat ability, Sanders set the Eagles rookie record for rushing yards with 818 and caught 50 passes for 509 yards. Sanders finished No. 8 in the NFL in all-purpose yards with 1,641 and scored six touchdowns.
Sanders spent the early part of his offseason training in Los Angeles with former Penn State teammate Saquon Barkley and others when the COVID-19 pandemic crisis arose, causing the running back to return to the East coast.
