Built like a fire hydrant with arms, Miller is the rare interior defender who can control the point of attack against anyone — he resets the line of scrimmage with cinder-block hands and a relentless motor that won't quit. His run defense translates Day 1 to any NFL scheme, and at 21 years old with 80-plus-inch wingspan, the physical tools scream upside. But the pass rush is a major question mark — just four career sacks, an undeveloped counter-move repertoire, and an inconsistent first-step trigger mean he's currently a two-down space-eater with three-down dreams. If a defensive line coach can unlock the bull rush he too often leaves in the holster, Miller's ceiling is a high-quality starter who anchors your front for a decade; if not, he's a solid rotational run-stuffer who caps out early.
- Elite point-of-attack strength — absorbs double teams and maintains gap integrity at an elite level, validated by PFF's 88.1 run defense grade (top-10 nationally)
- Heavy, violent hands that stun blockers on contact and create immediate advantages at the snap
- Surprising lateral agility for 310 pounds — scrapes down the line, fills cutback lanes, and pursues runs to the boundary
- Alignment versatility — experience at 0-tech, 1-tech, 3-tech, and 5-tech with credible tape at each
- Only 21 years old with elite physical tools (80+ inch wingspan, 33-inch arms) — significant developmental runway remaining
- Pass rush is a work in progress — just 4 career sacks, 70.4 PFF pass rush grade, and no reliable go-to move beyond effort and raw power
- Often late reacting to the snap, which undermines first-step consistency and bull rush effectiveness
- Tackling inconsistency spiked in 2025 — missed tackles were masked by Georgia's depth but will be exposed in the NFL
- Tunnel vision when penetrating — loses awareness of misdirection and play-action, gets fooled by teams that attack his aggressiveness
Steelers Depot drew this comparison directly — both entered the league as brute-strength run-stuffers first with underdeveloped pass rush who offered immediate value against the run and needed time to grow into every-down contributors. Similar body types and play styles built on power, leverage, and motor.
