Earp in Reverse: Wyatt Miller looking to corral chance to befriend Cowboys org

Will Wyatt Miller get a chance to prove himself among the Cowboys offensive lineman?

Joining the Cowboys roster in the final week of the 2019 season, 24-year-old Wyatt Miller is hoping for a longer stay with the Cowboys in Dallas. Can he survive the churn of training camp and claim a spot on Mike McCarthy’s 2020 team?

Standing 6-foot-5 and weight 298 pounds, Miller is a second-year offensive lineman who went undrafted out of UCF. He played in 49 total games and was a three-year starter for the Knights, playing both left and right tackle. Miller was a member during UCF’s 25-game win streak, starting every game during that stretch.

Originally signed by the Jets, Miller spent the majority of his rookie season on Cincinnati’s practice squad.

He may have minimal professional experience, but he does have traits that stand out on tape. This scouting report from Gang Green Nation highlights Miller’s potential as a guard in the NFL level, and notes his run blocking ability:

“UCF had some good success in the running game, breaking their single-season rushing record in 2018 with Miller a big part of that. They would often run behind him . . . Miller needs to work on his strength, technique and foot speed, but does have some desirable traits that will give the Jets’ coaching staff some hope they can turn him into a worthwhile interior line project.”

Offensive line depth is extremely important to any team’s success, and Dallas is currently in the midst of reloading its vaunted unit. As a young and developing player, Miller will need to outlast plenty of competition during training camp to claim even a practice squad spot.

He’ll be up against Adam Redmond, Marcus Henry and Cody Wichmann in sorting out the backup interior line depth. The road may be long, but there’s a decent change one of these players sees the field in 2020, given how many offensive lineman the team eventually turns to over the course of a season

Miller may be one of the most unknown players on the Cowboys roster, but after a storied college career, he still has fans in Orlando. Just ask his boy and Knightro’s Kids Club member Walker Meyers.
