Scouting report:
- A north/south one-speed runner. Miller has average leg drive and vision. He’ll be best utilized at the next level in a gap or inside zone scheme. Miller is at the peak of his powers when he gets downhill with one cut and hits the gas.
- He tends to dance at the line occasionally, which he can’t afford to do. Miller is a more limited athlete and doesn’t possess the juice to tack on multiple evasive movements without losing speed and burst in the process.
- Miller is an upright runner who defenders can square up. He has the lower half strength to power through flimsy tackling but can’t break tackles once wrapped up decently.
- He’s a functional receiver in the passing game with soft hands. Miller is a check-down option only in the passing game. He lacks the short-area agility to offer much of a ceiling as a route runner long term.
Player Comp: La’Mical Perine
Dynasty Outlook: Miller was a substantial riser after the NFL Draft in my rankings. He’s currently my RB6 (Tier 3) after being selected in Round 3 by the New Orleans Saints. With Alvin Kamara’s future up in the air and Jamaal Williams in the Big Easy for (at least) the next two seasons, Miller’s potential year-one role and two-year outlook are up in the air. Miller could easily be the team’s compliment to Williams or the long-term leader of this backfield if Kamara is suspended for a lengthy amount or cut by the team. Miller is a second-round rookie draft pick with upside in all formats.
