4 reasons Eagles could see Miles Sanders earn 2020 MVP honors

4. Talented teammates will take pressure off Sanders

As previously mentioned, Sanders took advantage of the extra playing time on offense towards the end of last season when Howard was hurt and ended up finishing his rookie campaign with 1,327 yards from scrimmage to go along with six total touchdowns.

These numbers may not seem like the biggest deal in the world to some football fans, but also keep in mind that Sanders only made 11 starts and split time towards the end of the year with Boston Scott, who also turned out to make a surprise impact for Philadelphia.

With these two entering their second season playing together with the Eagles, Sanders should continue to benefit from his teammate in Scott since the two should be able to remove additional pressure off one another.

Take this into consideration with all of the effective weapons Carson Wentz is fortunate enough to work with in the passing game, Sanders should be able to take advantage of opponents worrying about the whereabouts of his teammates.

So all things considered, as long as his teammates manage to come through for the Eagles, Sanders should have little trouble crushing his previous career highs from 2019 to put him in better position to live up to the MVP hype.
