Sproles is finishing up his fifth season as a consultant with the Philadelphia Eagles, the team he spent six seasons with, including winning Super Bowl 52. Sproles can win a second ring with the Eagles, this time as a staff member.
Sproles also played for the San Diego Chargers (2005-2010) and New Orleans Saints (2011-2013).
This would be the first coaching position for Sproles. His experience and expertise would be quite valuable for the dynamic duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.
