Miles Sanders has been compared to some really good running backs early on in his career and after shattering the records of one former Eagles great, the former Penn State star is hoping to get a tutorial from another comparable star.
Last season, Jason Peters compared Sanders to another former Eagles great, now signed in Tampa Bay.
“He is on that Shady level. He’s smooth,” Peters said. “He can catch, split him out, same as we did with Shady. He’s going to be a good one.”
Brandon Brooks took it a step further, comparing him to his former teammate in Houston, Arian Foster.
“Arian at his peak, there was nothing he couldn’t do: receive out of the backfield, making guys miss, taking the ball [the distance]. We ran a zone back then — one cut downhill. He reminds me of him a lot,” Brooks said.
Now Brooks is trying to help Sanders and Foster link up according to the Eagles star running back who stated that he’s hopeful the meeting will happen.
“He’s really smooth and great at that stretch game,” Sanders said of Foster.
