Master scouting report

Miller is a long, explosive boundary receiver who tracks the deep ball and consistently plays above the rim. His 808-yard, eight-touchdown breakout at Colorado changed the evaluation, and his move to Arizona State now gives him a chance to prove that the production and route growth can hold in a new offense.

By Draftanomics · Sources & edition · Print report

01Experience And Production

Miller spent three seasons at Colorado before transferring to Arizona State for 2026. He broke out in 2025 with 45 catches for 808 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging nearly 18 yards per reception. That season replaced an earlier résumé built more on isolated flashes than steady volume.

02Frame And Athleticism

Arizona State lists Miller around 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, with the length and body control of a boundary target. His stride builds speed quickly enough to threaten vertically without making him dependent on pure track acceleration. He plays larger than the listing because of his reach and timing at the catch point.

03Release Package

A quicker first decision would preserve timing and make his vertical threat more difficult to disrupt.

04Vertical Routes

Deep routes are the center of his game. Miller stacks corners with long strides, tracks without slowing and can adjust late without surrendering position. He is especially effective on fades, posts, slot seams and back-shoulder throws that let him use his frame.

05Intermediate Routes

He has enough body control to sell a vertical stem and work back to the quarterback on comebacks and curls. The route tree still needs sharper pacing and more consistent separation on in-breaking patterns. NFL corners will challenge him to win before the ball arrives rather than after it is already contested.

06Ball Skills

Miller locates the ball early and coordinates his hands and feet near the boundary. He can high-point through contact and extend outside his frame, making inaccurate throws playable.

07After The Catch

His long stride creates open-field speed once he catches the ball in space. Designed touches should give him room to accelerate rather than asking him to make several defenders miss in a phone booth.

08Blocking

Miller has the size and competitiveness to become an effective perimeter blocker. Arizona State can demand more consistency because his frame should be an advantage in the run game.

09Transfer And Role

The move from Colorado to Arizona State places Miller in a rebuilt receiver group that expects him to lead rather than rotate. Spring reports highlighted his catch-point ability and immediate role in the offense. He must now handle defensive attention without the weekly target share becoming unstable.

10Development And Outlook

Miller's 2025 season answered the largest production question and moved him into the national draft conversation. A second year must show cleaner releases, more intermediate separation and fewer routine misses. If those details improve, his vertical and red-zone value can support an early starting role.

The case for the player

Strengths

  • He produced 808 receiving yards and eight touchdowns during his 2025 breakout.

  • High-end tracking and body control make him dangerous on vertical throws.

  • His catch radius turns off-target boundary passes into realistic completions.

  • Long strides create enough downfield speed to stack outside corners.

  • He can align outside or in the slot and threaten the seam from either spot.

  • His frame gives him useful red-zone and perimeter-blocking potential.

The questions that remain

Concerns

  • Intermediate route pacing and separation are less developed than his vertical game.

  • Routine concentration misses appear despite excellent difficult-catch ability.

  • The résumé contains one high-volume season after two years of limited production.

  • He must reproduce the breakout after transferring into a new offense.

Building the fit

NFL role and scheme fit

Use Miller as an outside X or Z in a vertical passing game that features play action and isolation routes. Fades, posts, deep overs and back-shoulder throws maximize his tracking and length. Reduced splits and occasional slot work can protect the release and create seam matchups. More reliable intermediate routes would keep defenses from treating every alignment as a deep-ball alert.

The Draftanomics view

Bottom line

Miller now has the production to match the body control and catch-point talent that made him intriguing early in his career. The vertical role translates immediately, and his frame offers more than specialist value. Release efficiency, route detail and consistency on ordinary catches will determine whether he becomes a featured starter. Arizona State gives him one season to prove that the breakout was the beginning rather than the peak.
