Spread RPO and outside zone schemes that prioritize speed and getting backs into space will maximize Miller's explosive playmaking ability.
Could immediately contribute as a change-of-pace back and situational pass-catcher, with the ceiling to become a high-volume starter in a speed-oriented offense.
Miller's value is significantly diminished in a traditional power-run scheme that relies on consistent inside running and breaking tackles between the guards.
His exceptional straight-line speed and ability to hit the edge quickly make him a prime fit for modern, space-oriented offenses.
Selected #97 overall in Round 4 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Miami Dolphins out of Miami (FL).
