Is 2022 a make-or-break season for Miles Sanders? FrontOffice33 | FlyEaglesFly
The Philadelphia Eagles’ crowded running backs room is one of those “good problems to have.” At least, it is for the team. For, it may mean that the 2022 season is a make-or-break one in determining his future in Philadelphia.
Sanders is a player that’s always had plenty of potential from the time he was drafted in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. In his final year at Penn State, he rushed for 1,274 yards and nine touchdowns on just 220 carries in 13 games. In his first year in the NFL, Sanders finished with 818 yards and three touchdowns on 179 carries, with an additional 509 yards and three touchdowns on 50 catches for a total of 1,327 all-purpose yards on 229 touches.
Since that rookie year, Sanders’ production has gotten more and more limited thanks to some tough injury luck. He missed the first game in 2020, his second season, with a hamstring strain, then sat out a couple of extra games later that year with a knee injury. He still had a good year with a new career-high in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns , but less of a productive performance as a pass-catcher.
Unfortunately for Sanders, he was unable to follow it up with a much better 2021 thanks to more injuries. A lingering ankle issue kept him out or limited in a few games, and he broke his hand in Week 16, forcing him out of the final two games of the season. In all, Sanders has played in 24 games since 2019 and has been unable to replicate the same level of all-purpose production he had as a rookie. He has yet to record a 1,000-yard season as a rusher, which can largely be attributed to those injuries, and didn’t score in 2021, which is a bit more concerning considering how run-heavy the Eagles became in the second half of last season.
