Blake Miller

● Prototypical size — broad shoulders, outstanding arm length and athletic build ● Urgent in his setup and the way he operates (Duke edge rusher Wesley Williams said Miller was the best blocker he faced in 2025) ● Sets with a wide, sturdy base to withstand bull rushers down his middle ● Quick to respond and find balance after first contact in pass pro ● Has play strength to press rushers off him and keep them at bay ● Thudding, decisive hands as a run blocker; able to generate movement on drive blocks ● Shows off athleticism as a puller and on the move ● Voted a senior captain; member of the leadership council (NFL scout: “Love his focused mindset. Doesn’t cheat himself or his teammates.”) ● Remarkable toughness and consistently plays through bumps and bruises (broken wrist during 2025 spring practices required surgery, but he missed only one practice)

● Upright posture and inconsistent technique in pass protection ● Delivers adequate pop but doesn’t have overwhelming power to create knockback ● Can be late to draw hands from holster, opening his chest to rushers ● Gets caught leaning; requires a half-beat to get back in position ● NFL rushers will find some success setting him up ● Would like to see better control on perimeter to make it harder on defenders to avoid him ● Almost all (96.5 percent) of college snaps came at right tackle — lingering questions about his position flex 228 Back to table of contents -- 232 of 629 --

A four-year starter at Clemson, Miller was a mainstay at right tackle in former offensive coordinator Garrett Riley’s balanced gap/zone scheme. Highly recruited out of the Cleveland area, he earned a starting job from day one at Clemson and was a model of consistency for a mostly inconsistent college offense. He started all 54 games the past four seasons (most consecutive starts by a non-specialist in school history) and set the Clemson record for career offensive snaps played (3,778). Miller has a good mix of on-field talent and intangibles. In pass protection, he is quick off the ball, with the range to mirror rushers up the arc and a surprisingly sturdy anchor to answer different types of rushers. Miller also shows his foot quickness and physical demeanor to move bodies in the run game. He isn’t a great bender, though, and savvy NFL rushers will find some success using his aggressive techniques against him. His coaches rave about his smarts and football character (NFL scout: “I think he missed one practice in four years. The thought of letting down his coaches and teammates kills him.”). Overall, Miller has an upright play style that could lead to issues vs. NFL competition, but he has the type of profile (physical traits, football IQ, competitive toughness) that teams will bet on every time. He should compete for a starting right tackle role as a rookie.
