Prospect Summary:

Over the past four seasons, Miller has been one of the most consistent and reliable blockers in college football. He enters the NFL having started 54 games during his career at Clemson. Miller improved over his time with the Tigers and was a rock-solid contributor for the Tigers in his final season.

As a pass blocker, Miller is gifted as he combines length, strength, quickness, and technique. With quick enough feet, Miller is able to get depth in his drop to take away the edge from speed rushers, and his long frame makes it hard for defenders to get around him. With enough strength in his base, Miller can anchor against bull rushes, and he is able to bend at the knee. At times, Miller opens up his chest too much, and he gets in trouble when he stands up too high.

In the ground game, Miller has some real nastiness to him. Miller can knock defenders out of their gap and ride them around the field. He blocks through the whistle and is physical at the point of attack. Miller is quick out of his stance and can get to blocks on the second level, so that, combined with his drive block ability, makes Miller a good fit for either a zone blocking or power man scheme in the NFL.

In the 2026 NFL Draft, Miller looks like a pick for the back half of the first round. Check out my latest 2026 NFL Mock Draft to see where Miller is projected.

Prospect Comparison:

Rob Havenstein. In terms of skill set and style of play, Miller reminds me of Havenstein, and Miller could have a long and solid career like Havenstein did.
