The now 24-year-old running back finished the season with 1,099 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. It was his first year ever eclipsing 1,000 yards after totalling just 959 rushing yards over his first two seasons in the league.
Miller wasn't supposed to crack 1,000 yards last season. The Miami Dolphins coaching staff and front office did everything they could to prevent it.
Adding Knowshon Moreno in the offseason was supposed to relegate Miller to a two-back system, likely even pushing him as far as the minority holder of the touches at the position. Moreno was lost to injury during the season after featuring in just three games.
