New Eagles running back Miles Sanders announced he’ll be wearing the No. 26 jersey with Philadelphia. The following image comes via his official Instagram account:
Sanders wore No. 24 at Penn State but that number is currently occupied by Jordan Howard.
I wonder if we’ll see a LeSean McCoy situation here where Sanders switches his jersey number after his rookie season. Shady went from wearing No. 29 to No. 25. Howard could easily be gone after 2019 so Sanders might be tempted to switch to No.
