Rapids acquire Montreal Impact defender Eric Miller

The Colorado Rapids acquired defender Eric Miller from the Montreal Impact on Sunday.

The Rapids traded general allocation money and the team's natural first-round pick in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft.

"Eric is a rising young player in our league and with the U.S. national team program," vice president of soccer operations Paul Bravo said in a news release. "He will bring added quality and competition to our backline."

Miller, 23, has four starts with the United States' U-23 team. He played 2,163 minutes with Montreal the last two years, mainly at right back.
