There is no questioning Mile Sanders is the most talented running back on the Eagles’ roster.
The 25-year-old, 5-foot-11, 211-pound second-round draft choice out of Penn State has shown flashes of how brilliant he can be in his first three seasons with the Eagles. He’s also shown how frustrating he can be, too.
The Eagles are on the verge of becoming NFC contenders again. They rushed for a franchise record NFL-best 2,715 yards last season—with 785 yards coming from quarterback Jalen Hurts, while averaging 4.9 yards a carry, which was fourth in the league. The Eagles arrived there not so much because they could run the ball effectively, but because they had to run the efficiently to win.
