Philadelphia Eagles

With Jordan Howard in Miami, Miles Sanders is going to be the bell-cow back for the Philadelphia Eagles. Sanders has all the makings of a star. While Sanders was a good last season, it was only the beginning.

Over the offseason, Sanders received some very high praise from Eagles teammate Brandon Brooks. When speaking with Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Brooks compared Sanders to Arian Foster.

That is very high praise for a young back. In his prime, Arian Foster was an All-Pro running back during his NFL career. Sanders has very good vision, and is a quick to hit the holes provided. Philadelphia did a very good job utilizing Sanders’ talents last season but his workload will increase. He averaged a very impressive 4.6 yards per carry.

While Sanders was drafted for his rushing ability, the Eagles were able to give him plenty of opportunities in the passing game. Sanders should be in for a big year in both the passing and running game.

Expect Sanders to rush for at least 1,100 yards and reach 600 receiving yards while totaling nine rushing touchdowns and five touchdown grabs.
