Kamal Miller came to Orlando City courtesy of the 2019 MLS SuperDraft, where he was the third pick in the second round, and the 27th overall pick. He then signed with the Lions on March 1. While Miller was a standout during his time at Syracuse, it was unclear how much he would feature for the Lions at the beginning of the year after a number of other defenders were brought in during the off-season. Over the course of the season, Miller played as a center back, a left center back in a three-man back line, and as a left back, as the rookie showed some versatility.
