Miles Sanders now 3rd player in Eagles history to accomplish this feat

Miles Sanders isn’t dominating the Eagles rushing attack but the former Penn State star has cemented his status in team history.

Even with the loss to the Patriots, Sanders joined some distinguished company in Eagles franchise history. Miles Sanders became the third player in Eagles franchise history to gain 1,000 all-purpose yards in his first 10 career games.

So far through ten games, Sanders has 1,002 yards, 374 rushing yards, 314 receiving yards, 314 kick return yards thus far.

The other two Eagles to accomplish the feat, DeSean Jackson (1,085 all-purpose yards in 2008) and Ted Dean (1,066 all-purpose yards in 1960) had successful careers. Dean went on to win an NFL championship in 1960.

Sanders currently ranks 10th in the NFL in all-purpose yards and is the only player in the NFL with at least 300 rushing yards, 300 receiving yards and 300 kick return yards.
