Records are made to be broken, but might one set by Miles Sanders in 2019 be outdone by new Eagles rookie Jalen Reagor in 2020?

The more you think about it, you have to admit that this Philadelphia Eagles offense keeps looking better and better on paper. They’ve got Carson Wentz. They’ve got a young star in the backfield that made a nice case for the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year Award in 2019, Miles Sanders. They’ve got a real-deal star in the making with the addition of rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor.

Last season, Sanders set team records for rushing yards by a rookie and all-purpose yards by a rookie, surpassing marks held by LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson respectively. In 2019, Reagor will, no doubt, get plenty of opportunities to stack some yardage as well.

Could Reagor break an all-purpose yardage record that was broken a season ago? The answer is yes. He absolutely can.

Attention all Eagles fans, Philly’s offense should look much better in 2020 than it did in 2019. That means fewer three-and-outs and more chances for big plays. Expect Reagor to be a huge benefactor. Here are three reasons the rookie can break last year’s rookie sensation’s team record for all-purpose yards.
