When Harlan Miller was at Southeastern Louisiana, he would implore his college coaches to let him play safety.
The pitch: He could be more involved defensively, swoop in for interceptions and have a better view of each play as it unfolded. The star cornerback’s propaganda was always met with resistance.
“They never did let me,” said Miller, before a half-smile creeped onto his face. “Now I can call and joke with them about it.”
While the Cardinals also envisioned Miller at corner when they drafted him in the sixth round last season, desperate times called for desperate measures.
