Sanders joins Franco in Penn State Super Bowl lore

ALTOONA, Pa. -- Franco Harris. Miles Sanders. That's it. That's the list.

Or at least, that will be the list in a couple of weeks.

Until now, there has only been one Penn State player ever to start at tailback in the Super Bowl. And only one Penn State player ever to carry the ball from that position in the Super Bowl.

That player, of course, was Harris, who played on the Steelers' four Super Bowl championship teams in the 1970s.

But when the Philadelphia Eagles play the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, Sanders' name will be added to the list.
