Miller

Miller was recently waived by the Cardinals to make room for Xavier Williams. The former has made one regular-season appearance to this point, being involved in two special teams snaps. He was initially Philadelphia’s fourth-round pick in the 2019 draft.

Miller is the second waiver claim the Panthers added from the Eagles. The former 2019 NFL Draft fourth-round pick simply couldn’t create a spot in the Eagles pass rushing rotation. That should be easier to achieve in Carolina, behind Brian Burns, Stephen Weatherly and Yetur Gross-Matos.

The No. 138 overall pick of last year’s draft, Miller ended up playing all of two rookie snaps. It just wasn’t happening for the Penn State product in Philly. Miller is only 23 years old, but this is about as rough of a start to a fourth-rounder’s career as possible.

A Philly local who attended George Washington high school, the 6-4, 254-lb Penn State standout notched 7.5 sacks and 15 tackles for loss in his final collegiate season before exiting early for the NFL Draft. With 33-and-5/8-inch arms, Miller will look to carve a rotational role for himself among the Eagles’ surrounding pass-rushing depth (Derek Barnett, Vinny Curry, Josh Sweat, Daeshon Hall).
