How is braxton miller doing at ohio state

A starter in 19 of 20 games last season, Miller enters her final season with the program having averaged She ended the season with a choice, too. With the extra year afforded to all players by the NCAA, she could have found another home for one final season of college basketball. When I think of the new proposed NCAA rule that would allow athletes to profit from outside companies while playing college football, I think of one of the most dynamic college football players of his era who never stuck in the pros.

I think of most of the star Ohio State quarterbacks who played before and after Miller who fit the same profile. College football is a billion-dollar business of its own. At the most important position at one of the five most important programs in the country, Ohio State quarterbacks have won games and won awards, and developed loyal followings and developed personal brands.

None of that guaranteed NFL money. Sine , 91 Buckeyes have been drafted. Receivers, running backs, offensive tackles, tight ends, cornerbacks, defensive ends, defensive tackles and linebackers have made big NFL money after leaving Ohio State.

But according to the salary tracking sites overthecap. But should Miller still be a Buckeye next fall as anticipated, it's hard to imagine he, Barrett or Jones being relegated to the role of third-string quarterback. And given the severity of his injury, Miller may ultimately be the odd man out, although that's not to say he couldn't find another way to help Ohio State's quest for a second consecutive national championship.

In the first three years of his college career, Miller proved to be one of the nation's most dynamic playmakers with his feet, totaling 3, rushing yards and 32 rushing touchdowns from The Huber Heights, Ohio, native was believed to be the Buckeyes' second fastest player in , with a purported yard dash time of 4.

And the fastest Buckeyes are The QB is 2nd fastest? Given his size listed at 6'2", pounds Miller could play either running back, wide receiver or the hybrid H-Back position in Meyer's spread offense. Like quarterback, Ohio State is equally loaded at all of those spots as well, but they are positions more capable of rotating players and splitting playing time.

With the Buckeyes having lost arguably the best deep threat receiver in the nation in Devin Smith to graduation, one intriguing option would be for Miller to move to wideout and perfect the "nine-route" that made Smith so dangerous. That would also reduce the wear and tear on Miller's body, although his most recent injury came from throwing the ball in a non-contact drill. After spending four years as a quarterback at Michigan, Robinson moved to "offensive weapon" in the NFL, splitting time at wide receiver and running back after being drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the fifth round of the draft.

This past season, the 6'0", pounder rushed for yards and four touchdowns on carries for the Jaguars. With a year to prepare for a similar role in college, Miller could potentially be viewed as rich man's version of his former rival in the draft.

Of course, that decision will ultimately come down to head coach Urban Meyer. Enjoy our content? Join our newsletter to get the latest in sports news delivered straight to your inbox! Your sports.
