What surprised people most was Miller's lack of buzz in draft circles. Few draft analysts had him on their radars for the 2015 draft; ESPN just moved Miller up to the No. 18 offensive tackle overall, but the rest have the big junior searching for a shot as an undrafted free agent.
Miller's best asset is his length. The big tackle measured in at 6-6 3/4, and he's got 35-inch arms, incredibly long for his position and a huge asset against pass rushers. His explosive numbers -- the 40-yard dash and broad jump -- would have ranked among the top 12 or so at the Combine in Indianapolis.
He still has to get stronger. At nearly 6-7, Miller can carry more weight than the 292 pounds he measured on Tuesday, and he put up just 16 reps on the bench press, a rough number even for a player with the long arms he has.
