OT Kolton Miller
Miller quieted the doubters in his second NFL season. He struggled mightily as a rookie and the question, for those who weren’t simply making broad assumptions, was whether his nagging knee injury the main reason why. It would seem, based on his play when healthy last season, that his knee was the primary culprit.
Miller did an outstanding job protecting the left side of the line. No one would mistake him for a Pro Bowler just yet, but there’s no reason to doubt that he can reach that level. He was in need of adding bulk to his 6-8 frame when he was selected at No.15 overall in the draft. Along with that, he had only been a full-time starter at UCLA for one season.
So, what we’re talking about is a step forward each of the past four years for Miller. From college backup to college starter to raw NFL rookie to solid second-year pro. That’s the kind of steady upward trajectory that could signal dominance is ahead for the 24-year-old.
