When you turn on the tape, it\u2019s easy to see why evaluators around the NFL had a first-round grade on Miller, even in what was widely considered to be a deep offensive tackle class. He is a consistent, intelligent player that is rarely fooled when pass protecting. From an athleticism standpoint, you can clearly see the traits that made Miller such a standout performer at the NFL combine, where he earned a 9.90 RAS score. He has strong hands when he latches onto a defender, and is really light on his feet when pulling in space, making him a natural fit next to second-year right guard Tate Ratledge.<\/p>\n
When it comes to his technique, Miller\u2019s game is relatively clean along with some things that will need to be ironed out during his early years in Detroit\u2014specifically with his one-handed punch and his pass-sets. This is where it pays to have offensive line coach Hank Fraley on staff. A coach with a history of development that has had success bringing along young talent for the Lions.<\/p>\n
