Miles Sanders 2023 NFL Player Outlook: The New Carolina Workhorse
2 years agoCarolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders moved on from Philadelphia this past offseason and signed a 4-year $25.4 million contract with the Panthers. After trading Christian McCaffrey at the deadline in 2022, Carolina proceeded to give veteran D'Onta Foreman 203 carries, with Chuba Hubbard mixing in for 95 of his own. McCaffrey and Foreman combined for 288 of the team's 483 total carries in 2022. With the money spent for the former Eagles' starting running back this offseason, and a rookie quarterback under center, Sanders seems to be in line for a massive workload. Last season, the 26-year-old tallied 259 carries for 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns. Those are again achievable numbers in 2023, especially with quarterback Jalen Hurts no longer taking away goal-line opportunities. The Panthers' offensive ranked top 12 in rushing attempts, yards, and touchdowns last season, and have upgraded by going from Foreman to Sanders. Seemingly a near lock for 250 carries and over 1,100 yards, after averaging 5 yards per carry in his first four seasons, the Penn State alum should be considered a solid RB2 with top 12 upside in 2023.
