From the moment he walked on to Ohio State’s campus in 2011, Braxton Miller was destined for greatness. Even as he cut his teeth grinding through his freshman season, Buckeyes’ fans knew he was a generational player.
It was not just the fans. Head coach Urban Meyer saw it too. In Miller’s first game of the 2011 season, he was a backup. Meyer was calling the game as an ESPN analyst and was critical of Miller on air in his approach thinking he should be taking mental reps while watching the game. He also said he was a gifted athlete with loads of talent.
