Miller has signed with the Calgary Stampeders, becoming Carson-Newman's ninth CFL player. Prior to Williams' signing with Edmonton last week, Carson-Newman's last CFL player was a Stampeder and a wide receiver. James Banks signed with the club in 2008.
Miller signed with the Philadelphia Eagles after he finished his C-N career and spent a season with the program.
Miller carved his name into the Carson-Newman record books as a senior. Miller's 868 yards receiving are the second most for Carson-Newman during the option era (1972-present) and the sixth highest single-season total in school history. He came within four yards of besting Reggie Hubbard's option era single-season receiving yards mark.
He joined Hubbard as the only other receiver in the option era with four, 100-yard receiving efforts in one season. He became the fourth player of the option era with a 150-yard receiving effort, turning that in against Wingate when he caught six passes for 151 yards and two scores. Miller snagged eight passes for 102 yards against Lenoir-Rhyne, matching an option-era record for single-game receptions that Braxton Westfield was break in 2019. He finished his senior season fifth in the country in yards per catch.
