One of the most glaring holes in the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster is running back, and with the 2019 NFL Draft coming up next week, the team is beginning to show more interest in one particular player.
According to Philly.com’s Paul Domovitch (via 247 Sports), the Eagles have continued to show interest in Penn State running back Miles Sanders, and have used a top-30 visit on the player to have him come to their NovaCare Complex. As Domovitch reported, the Eagles have Sander high on their draft board, but it’s unknown if he’ll be there when the Eagles get to the second-round.
“The Eagles like Sanders. A lot. But it remains to be seen whether he’ll still be on the board when they select in the second round.” Domovitch said.
The Eagles currently have the 25th overall pick in the draft, but would probably be better served using it on a position other than running back.
While Sanders is reportedly considered to be a second-round talent, Philadelphia doesn't select until the 53rd and 57th pick, and there’s no guarantee that Sanders will be there by then. Of course, the Eagles could also be considering trading up in an effort to snag Sanders, but they’ll have to see how the board falls for them.
Sanders is considered one of the better running back prospects, but he made a name for himself thanks to a great showing at the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine, where he ran a 4.49 40-yard dash, and posted a 4.19 agility shuttle, and a 36-inch vertical leap.
