Each week during the 2022 season, we’re going through the Eagles’ media guide to find an interesting nugget.<\/p>\n

The Eagles’ PR interns do a great job of filling out these little oddities in the media guides and they serve as a good way to meet the player behind the helmet.<\/p>\n

This week, we chatted with Miles Sanders, whose first job was at a Sbarro pizzeria.<\/p>\n

me: <\/strong>Your first job was at a Sbarro. Is that right?<\/p>\n

Sanders: <\/strong>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.<\/p>\n

me: <\/strong>Tell me about that. How old were you when you started?<\/p>\n

Sanders: <\/strong>Ummm, I was a freshman in high school, I know that.<\/p>\n

me:<\/strong> Wow, you were pretty young.<\/p>\n

Sanders: <\/strong>Yeah, I wanted to get my own money. I was tired of asking my mom for money and she wouldn’t give it with me. Yeah, I had the job \u2026 I was 15 \u2026 I had the job for about a week. So I couldn’t do it. I was getting told what to do, I didn’t want to do it.<\/p>\n

me: <\/strong>(Laughter) Oh yeah?<\/p>\n

Sanders: <\/strong>Yeah, it made me realize 9-5 ain’t for me. I swear to God, that made me grind even harder. I said, ‘I’m not not doing that.’<\/p>\n

me:<\/strong> Not doing that. What were your responsibilities there?<\/p>\n

Sanders:<\/strong> Serving and cleaning.<\/p>\n

me:<\/strong> Was it in a mall?<\/p>\n

Sanders: <\/strong>Yeah, it was in mall, actually. Monroeville Mall. I don’t know if Sbarro is still there, but yeah, I used to work there.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

me:<\/strong> I remember my sister worked in a pizza spot and she would come home, I used to make fun of here, because she would come home smelling like grease and everything.<\/p>\n

Sanders:<\/strong> Yeah, it was real minimum wage. Probably working for like $5 I think. That was about it. I couldn’t do no 9-5, I noticed that right then and there. That was it for me.<\/p>\n

me:<\/strong> Did you have other jobs in high school after that?<\/p>\n

Sanders: <\/strong>No, that was my only job.<\/p>\n

me: <\/strong>Then football became the (job)?<\/p>\n

Sanders:<\/strong> Yeah, I said I was full-time football. I do not care.<\/p>\n

me: <\/strong>Every time you see a Sbarro, do you think, ‘Oh man\u2026’<\/p>\n

Sanders: <\/strong>Nah, not really. I went into that mall probably this past offseason. I saw the worker that hired me and everything.<\/p>\n

me: <\/strong>oh yeah? They’re still there.<\/p>\n

Sanders:<\/strong> Yeah, I was cool with the owner. It was the owner, it wasn’t like he was just working there. But I knew the owners and stuff, that’s how I got the job.<\/p>\n

me:<\/strong> So they’ve been watching your career?<\/p>\n

Sanders: <\/strong>oh yeah.<\/p>\n

me:<\/strong> Oh that’s cool.<\/p>\n

Sanders: <\/strong>Yeah, man.<\/p>\n

me: <\/strong>They can tell people you worked there. Maybe not for how long.<\/p>\n

Sanders:<\/strong> Yeah, not for how long. But, yeah, ‘Miles used to work here.’<\/p>\n
