Christen Miller

● Stout build, with proportionate thickness and solid length ● Impressive athletic talent for a man his size ● Uses slanting, lateral quickness to squeeze gaps and chase the ball ● Avoids getting moved by down blocks ● Flashes power to create knockback when he stays low off the ball 403 Back to table of contents -- 407 of 629 -- ● Pass-rush hands are aggressive; relies on different arm-over and club-rip moves ● Covers ground in pursuit of the football ● Energetic and always wears a smile (NFL scout: “Genuine, goofy personality and tries to relate with everyone he meets.”) ● Stayed healthy in 2025 and logged snaps across the defensive line

● Can be a tick late, which seems to throw off his plan of attack ● Rush lacks cohesion when trying to transition off blocks ● Registered more than two pressures just once in 14 games in 2025 ● More than a few times on tape, he reached backfield with tall pads but couldn’t finish ● Double teams will get him to budge more than he wants ● Suffered a right shoulder injury (Nov. 2024) and missed two games; underwent labrum surgery (Jan. 2025) to address his right shoulder and missed 2025 spring practices; meniscus “clean-up” procedure after 2023 season; sprained MCL in right knee (Dec. 2021) in state championship game as a senior in high school; broken leg after dunking a basketball during freshman year of high school (Oct. 2018) — needed three screws and was told he might never play football again

A two-year starter at Georgia, Miller played multiple positions on the interior of the defensive line in defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann’s scheme. Typical for Georgia fronts, he was part of a heavy rotation and averaged just 31.2 snaps per game in 2025. His impact was felt more on tape than on the stat sheet, as he combined for only 11.5 tackles for loss and four sacks in his college career. Auburn center Connor Lew called Miller the toughest player he faced in college. More quick than explosive, Miller is an athletic big man who mixes things up against blockers and shows impressive range for his size. He flashes violence in his hands to swipe away the reach of blockers and gain access to the pocket, but he lacks consistency in this area. His quickness and strength allow him to stack and leverage gaps. Overall, Miller can be up and down with his anchor and rush consistency, but he is rock solid as a run defender who should excel on early downs. His role will shift depending on scheme, though he projects best as a one-gapping nose in a four-man front.
