After tasting playoff success and smashing a few rookie records, Sanders has been working out constantly preparing for the 2020 NFL season.

The former Penn State star led the Eagles in carries during his rookie campaign, logging the rock 179 times for 818 yards with three TDs, while also turning into the Birds best weapon in the passing game after adding 50 receptions for 509 yards and another three scores.
On Wednesday, Sanders told SiriusXM NFL Radio that he “absolutely” sees himself taking on a bigger load in 2020.
“I believe that’s why they drafted me in the first place,” Sanders said. “It was really just a switch, honestly, that turned. All of a sudden, I was a starting running back, and I didn’t start at the beginning of the season. So, I just looked at it as an opportunity, and I just attacked it.”
The Eagles could decide to add a veteran to the mix but have a decent stable of backs in Sanders, Corey Clement, Boston Scott, Adrian Killins, and Michael Warren.
