Miles Sanders welcomes more responsibility in the Philadelphia Eagles offense.
When the Philadelphia Eagles selected Miles Sanders in Round 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft with the 53rd-overall selection, there was a pretty common theory around much of the team’s fan base and around the rest of the NFL. It didn’t take a lot to convince anyone that he was a very solid selection for a franchise that definitely needed help at the tailback position.
Then, at various points of the season, three of the Eagles’ top four running backs (Jordan Howard, Corey Clement, Darren Sproles) all either found their way onto the team’s IR (injured reserve) or they spent considerable time on the injury report.
