Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard Lead Committee Approach
5 years agoSince Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson was hired in 2016, the team has stuck with a committee approach at running back, and that won't change in 2019. “I believe the National Football League season is a grueling, grinding season, particularly on running backs,” Pederson said Wednesday. “And if you don’t have a couple of guys that you can really hang your hat on, it’s hard to get through a season.” Rookie Miles Sanders and Jordan Howard will be the one-two punch, while veterans Darren Sproles and Corey Clement will come in and out of the lineup to create mismatches on passing downs. Sanders has the most upside of the group. His ceiling will be limited in this committee approach, but he still has RB3/flex appeal in the Week 1 matchup with Washington.
