Miles Sanders is a good running back, but as of late, he's dipping his toes into some comedy.

Or, at least, making a few references to it. After Sunday's game, Sanders was asked by a reporter about a key block he made, and Sanders gave a shoutout to The Waterboy, Adam Sandler's 1998 movie.

"Ah man,” Sanders said. “I had the plan to yell like the Waterboy because I was mic’d up today and I hope y’all hear it. That’s exactly what went on."

It dates back to during the game when Sanders yelled just like the movie's main character. The impression basically begged Sandler to comment on it. And comment he did.

"Love you buddy," he tweeted.

Sanders is playing so well, even celebrities are taking notice. Maybe in another life, he was a comedian.
