Miles Sanders ranks among Eagles' top rushing performers in history
Summary

Miles Sanders' tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles has established him as one of the more statistically significant running backs in the team's history. In four seasons, Sanders averaged over 4.5 yards per carry, joining only Steve Van Buren in achieving this. His 54 percent success rate stands as the best in franchise lore, and his 5.0 yards per carry is tied for the highest among Eagles running backs. After leaving Philadelphia, Sanders played for the Panthers and Cowboys, and as of mid-June 2026, remains a free agent. Despite impressive numbers, his influence on the field did not consistently project dominance, as he often benefited from a strong supporting cast.
