Little did the Philadelphia Eagles know at the time last April that Miles Sanders would turn out to be a steal in the second round of the NFL Draft, but the young running back has made it clear he deserves to be the No. 1 option moving forward.
At the time of the selection last April, the plan for the Eagles was to have Sanders provided the backfield with a solid one-two combo alongside Jordan Howard.
And while this scenario did work wonders on numerous occasions for Philadelphia, with Howard dealing with an injury for the most part during the final two months of action, it was Sanders who stepped up on offense for the Eagles when they needed it the most.
