Take notice, NFL defenders: blitz against Miles Sanders at your own risk.
The former Penn State star running back is now a rookie with the Philadelphia Eagles. Though he has yet to find the end zone, Sanders has 326 total yards through five games. He is also doing all the little things that help an offense click.
In Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, Sanders came up with a picture-perfect block in pass protection. It was a textbook blitz pickup that left the Jets defensive back flat on the ground on the play.
