Sometimes, glory just doesn’t happen on the expected timescale. For Alabama’s Christian Miller, it sure didn’t. But through hard work, perfectionism, and perseverence, he became one of the best defenders in college football and projected to go in the first day or two of the NFL draft.
Once the #40 overall prospect in the nation (and a 5-star by one recruiting service), Miller is one of the few players out of the state of South Carolina to head down to Tuscaloosa. He was an exceptional athlete, blowing up all the test results at Nike’s SPARQ combines while simultaneously blowing up offensive tackles as he shot past them for more shots at the QB.
