Miles Sanders on avoiding injuries, staying consistent and the Eagles feeling like an All-Star team

“I’m going to be honest, there’s a lot of injuries in this sport that you can’t control. It’s a very physical sport,” Sanders said to Clark. “Like a broken hand, you cannot control that. It happens. Ankles and stuff like that, that’s on me.

“But being healthy is … it’s going to get better. I can say that. A lot of stuff goes into playing this sport. Everybody does not stay healthy (the whole season). It’s just trying to stay healthy all throughout the year. You gotta do your best. Gotta be consistent with what you do every day.”

There’s a lot more I wanna do. I wanna go into the community and build certain buildings where parents and young adults can go and get information about financials — real estate, taxes, credit, all that — because we grow up not learning that stuff in high school. Just to educate the community. I wanna build YMCA-type buildings where kids, instead of going out in the street, can go play basketball, go play football, anything you can do to keep these kids off the streets. I don’t wanna just do stuff in the football atmosphere. … It’s a vision, it’s a big vision right now, but we have been taking steps into making it happen. I’m getting my foundation finished, so everything’s moving.

“Being consistent, being more consistent,” Sanders said. “I’m going to be honest, opportunities. I’ll just say it simple like that. I need to be more consistent but I need opportunities.”

Oh man. We all feel like we’re on an all-star team, so we feel great. We feel unstoppable, I’m not gonna lie. The vibes are great, always have been. Nick Sirianni is doing a great job just keeping the vibes right, the chemistry good. We compete a lot in practice. But we’ve gotta see. Its gonna come down to camp, taking it day by day, putting everything together.
