Rex Ryan's Cover-3/Man-Free scheme, characterized by aggressive press-man coverage and disciplined zone rotations from versatile defensive backs.
Immediate starter as a boundary cornerback capable of handling top receivers in press-man, with All-Pro potential.
A passive, off-zone system that does not leverage his physicality and press ability.
Milliner's combination of size, speed, and press-man ability makes him an ideal fit for an aggressive defensive backfield that prioritizes locking down receivers at the line of scrimmage.
Selected #9 overall in Round 1 of the 2013 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of Alabama.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
