He rushed for over 4,500 yards during his high school career and was considered a national top-25 prospect before making his way to "Happy Valley" to play for the Penn. St. Nittany Lions. Once he got there, however, he found his pathway to the playing field blocked by Saquon Barkley, an All-American and eventual number two overall pick in the NFL draft. However, when Barkley left for the NFL, Sanders got his chance to shine, rushing for 1,274 yards and catching and catching 24 passes for 139 yards. Choosing to leave school following his junior year, Sanders is considered one of the better talents in what is generally thought to be a rather thin pool of running backs in the upcoming NFL draft. miles sanders |
