Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller was supposed to have his breakout season last year. Instead, had just 52 catches for 656 yards and two touchdowns.
It wasn't a completely lost season for Miller, who ended 2019 with two games of nine catches and more than 100 yards over the final five weeks. But he didn't take that next step in his development from the dominant playmaker at Memphis to a true pro receiver.
That development appears like it's finally starting to happen, according to wide receivers coach Mike Furrey.
‘‘He’s starting to understand defenses and coverages and leverages — that stuff, it’s not just playground,’’ Furrey said on Thursday.
