26. player. 54. . . . Miles Sanders, running back

Eagles running back Miles Sanders should see his stock rise again and soon.

Before we state anything else, let’s make three things abundantly clear. One, Miles Sanders is one of the best players on the Eagles offense, and he is responsible for so many big plays throughout the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Second, if utilized correctly, he’s fully capable of adding a few more big plays and iconic moments to his resume.

Something else has to be mentioned as well, and this is the third point. Pro stock works the same way as any other.

Heading into the 2021 NFL season, Miles Sanders was the clear-cut choice to be the number one player on top of the Eagles depth chart. Then, he struggled some to open the season. Some of that was his fault. Some of that has to be placed at the doorstep of this young coaching regime.

Either way, regardless of how you look at it, Sanders, once seen as Philly’s best running back, is someone a lot of people think should sit while the Eagles ride with their ‘hot hands’ (Jordan Howard and Boston Scott). By definition, that’s the epitome of a drop in stock value.

Here’s the good news though. You also have to see him as the player who has the best chance of seeing his stock rise again (and quickly). The doubters will be silenced soon. You can write that down, but right now, Sanders’ slow start has been one of the biggest surprises of the Eagles’ 2021 regular season.
