ALAMEDA -- Kolton Miller's rookie season wasn't one to remember.
The Raiders' 2018 first-round pick out of UCLA was given the nod at left tackle Week 1and underperformed expectations.
Miller gave up an NFL-high 16 sacks and league-worst 65 pressures while dealing with multiple knee sprains. He could have blamed the injuries for his limited mobility and disappointing rookie campaign, but instead, he just put on his brace and showed up to work, never making excuses for his performance.
Despite a rookie season that saw him ranked as the 60th best offensive tackle by Pro Football Focus, the Raiders and head coach Jon Gruden expect big things from Miller, now that he's healthy and gained strength during the offseason.
