Texans take Ohio State receiver Braxton Miller in third round

The Texans drafted converted Ohio State wide receiver Braxton Miller, a former starting quarterback for the Buckeyes, with their third-round draft pick.

Miller impressed NFL scouts and coaches with his burgeoning ability as a wide receiver after starting his career as the Buckeyes' starting quarterback. Miller is more advanced in his game as a receiver than NFL scouts thought he'd be at this stage, displaying an understanding of leverage, route-running, body control and eye-popping, rare athleticism.

Miller is a big wide receiver at 6-1, 201 pounds and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds at the NFL scouting combine.
