He has quick footwork to keep his matchup square in front of him. His athleticism is apparent on tape as he moves to the second level with ease to displace linebackers in open space.

Weaknesses: Miller tends to struggle against stunts or twists at the line. He doesn’t struggle processing, but his ranginess gets tested with quick twitch or sudden movement along the line.
