Julian Miller, DE West Virginia

Miller is a well built player who has the ability to explode off the line of scrimmage and stuff runs and fall back in coverage and make plays. He does have some room for improvement and could add some bulk to the lower half of his body to make him a stronger and more explosive player. Miller is great at getting a jump start on the snap. He has long arms which allow him to initiate contact and then disengage. This season The Mountaineers have moved Miller inside but he has still been as productive totalling a 40+ tackle and 6+ sack season for the third straight season.

Miller has a good motor and will chase plays down, but at times he plays to upright against the run he will need to do a better job of reacting and locating the ball. Miller has a lot of things to like his explosiveness off the line and his long arms. He will need to improvement his footwork, balance and pad leverage in order to make the leap into the NFL. At this moment in time Miller projects as a 4th or 5th round pick.
