Over the last few years, Miles Sanders (who will be entering his third NFL season in 2021) has been one of the few positives for the Philadelphia Eagles. A legit threat to opposing defenses, Sanders has been a big-play machine since being drafted by Philly in 2019. Blessed with a unique combination of speed and agility, he’s capable of scoring from anywhere on the field.

He can’t carry the load on his own though. The National Football League has gone away from the bell cow back and now leans on the committee approach in so many offenses.
