4. Lamar Miller

As a rookie fourth-round pick for the Dolphins, Miller didn’t play much with Reggie Bush in front of him. However, he took advantage of the following three seasons on his rookie contract that saw him total 2,930 yards and 19 touchdowns in his four years in Miami. In 2016, he signed with the Texans to become one of the highest-paid backs in the league. Miller rewarded Houston by being the fifth leading rusher from 2016-2018.

Miller’s 2019 ended before it even started with a torn ACL in the preseason. He would be another option that would likely be cap friendly to New England. An ACL tear used to be the end of a running back’s career, but that’s not the case anymore. Miller could return back to his former self – a flexible player that excels in the run and pass game – and if he did, the team that signs him could get a solid running back for less than market value.
