Philadelphia Eagles: Second-year player performance grades
By David Esser
Miles Sanders: B+
Miles Sanders currently ranks second in the NFL amongst all running backs in terms of yards per carry – which is obviously fantastic. However, it’s hard not to feel like the Penn State alum hasn’t left some production on the table this year.
He only has five touchdowns, he’s fumbled three times, and his catch percentage is way down at 52.2%.
Sanders has without question been an explosive weapon, but he hasn’t really developed into that three-down back role that a lot of fans were hoping for. He seems to cap out at 15-20 carries, signaling the need for further depth behind him. It’s been a solid year for Sanders thus far, but the expectations were Christian McCaffrey level high for him during the offseason.
JJ Arcega-Whiteside: F
I honestly don’t even know what to say about JJ Arcega-Whiteside, he’s just not a very good football player.
Despite being an incredibly productive player for Stanford, the 6-2 wideout has completely flopped at the professional level.
He has just two catches this year, and he’s missed a handful of games due to being a healthy scratch. It’s honestly hard to imagine JJAW still being on the Philadelphia Eagles roster come Week 1 in 2021.
