ANALYSIS
Miller (6-foot-7, 317 pounds) was a standout four-year starter at Clemson, where he developed his reputation as a rugged right tackle. Miller was a better athlete than expected at the combine, logging excellent marks across the board and making clear that his NFL transition should be about as easy as it gets. Expect Miller to start at right tackle while Penei Sewell moves over to the left.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not guaranteed starting job
Miller will compete with veteran Larry Borom in training camp for the Lions' starting right tackle job, Tim Twentyman of the Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller was selected 17th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft and is viewed as the long-term answer at the position, but the Clemson product won't simply be handed a starting spot. Borom, who has 38 career NFL starts over five seasons with the Bears and Dolphins, signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Lions in March to provide a bridge if Miller isn't deemed ready in camp.
