Pro Bowl 2022 RB Determined to Beat His Former Team Eagles After Being Coldly Sent to Cowboys Despite His Contributions
Miles Sanders, the 2022 Pro Bowl running back and one of the NFL’s most explosive playmakers in recent years, is preparing for an emotional showdown against his former team — the Philadelphia Eagles — now wearing the star of the Dallas Cowboys. And he’s not holding back.
After four seasons of dedication and grit with the Eagles — including a breakout Pro Bowl year with over 1,200 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns — Sanders was let go without much resistance. The Eagles declined to re-sign him, effectively pushing him out the door and into the waiting arms of NFC East rivals, the Cowboys.
Speaking to the media after a recent training camp session, Sanders expressed exactly how he feels:
"I was a Pro Bowler there. I gave them everything — every yard, every run. And they let me go like I didn’t matter. Now? I just want one thing - to beat them and show them exactly what they gave up."
For Sanders, the matchup against the Eagles isn’t just another game — it’s personal. It’s a chance to reclaim his narrative and prove that his value didn’t vanish the moment he left Philadelphia.
In Dallas, Sanders is stepping into a critical role. With Tony Pollard now gone, the Cowboys are placing their faith in Sanders to be the engine of their backfield — a dynamic presence capable of keeping defenses honest and opening up the passing game.
The upcoming Cowboys vs. Eagles clash won’t just be a battle between bitter NFC East rivals — it will be a statement game for Miles Sanders, one he’s been waiting for since the day he was cast aside.
