STM Take
Tier 3 (#22) sophomore to tier 1 (#4) in 2025 puts Miller in the rarest outlier-positive class for Day 3 LB prospects. The Florida SEC 4th-round origin plus the Jaguars' position-specific coaching appears to be the catalyst. The 2026 question is whether Miller earns his first Pro Bowl plus holds tier 1 or whether the 2025 finish was a one-year context spike.
Miller came out of Florida as the Jacksonville Jaguars' 4th-round pick (121st overall) in 2023 after starting 27 games for the Gators. He spent his rookie year as developmental depth before emerging into a starter role in 2024. His STTM career runs tier 3 (#22) in 2024 to tier 1 (#4) breakout in 2025, an 18-spot one-year jump for a 4th-round Day 3 pick.
Strengths
- Tier 1 (#4) STTM breakout for a 121st overall 4th-round pick puts him in the rarest outlier-positive class at the LB position.
- Florida SEC pedigree plus three years of Jaguars system experience gives him real developmental foundation.
Concerns
- Single tier 1 finish without prior top-15 STTM history puts the 2025 production on a small sample with downside risk.
- Jacksonville's broader defensive identity transition plus the multi-year offensive rebuild compresses the structural support around Miller.
What to watch: Whether Miller earns his first Pro Bowl in 2026 plus holds tier 2 or better, the threshold for confirming the 2025 breakout was structural.
