Penn State Football: Miles Sanders’ productive workouts vaulting him up draft boards

When Penn State running back Miles Sanders declared in January that he was leaving school early to head to become eligible for the NFL Draft, it came as a bit of surprise. Having just one year as a starter under his belt, had he really shown enough on tape to NFL coaches and scouts? Now, after some impressive workouts, it appears the answer to that question is a resounding, “Yes.”

At the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Sanders looked like one of the best running backs during workouts. He ran 4.49 in the 40-yard dash and looked like one of the best running backs running routes out of the backfield, according to CBSSports.
