Here’s how Penn State RB Miles Sanders turned heads, boosted stock at NFL Combine

Miles Sanders is the latest Nittany Lion to have scouts gushing at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.

Sanders impressed fans, reporters and general managers alike Friday after finishing near the top of every measurable and running smoothly during the on-field drills. He was even named NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah’s top Combine performer Friday.

“You can’t have a better day than what Miles Sanders out of Penn State did today,” Jeremiah said during the telecast.

Added host Rich Eisen: “He looked terrific, for sure.”

Sanders ran an official 4.49-second 40-yard dash at the Combine. That was tied for the sixth-fastest among running backs and exceeded expectations.
