7. Braxton Miller, Ohio State
After taking snaps under center for his first three years at Ohio State, Braxton Miller made the switch to receiver in his final year with the Buckeyes due to the level of talent they already had at the quarterback position in J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones.
In 2015, Miller brought in just 26 receptions for 341 yards and three touchdowns, but he has exploded onto the NFL radar through his limited experience and his play in the practices prior to the 2016 Reese’s Senior Bowl.
At 6’1”, 201 pounds, Miller’s desirable size and athleticism should allow him to remain versatile at the next level as both an outside and slot receiver. Though he still needs to perfect his technique as a route-runner, Miller is quick enough to make defenders look silly in and out of his cuts. Also, Miller is simply a playmaker whenever the ball is in his hands, and with experience at quarterback and taking handoffs, he should have a versatile role at the next level.
As previously noted, Miller lacks experience as a receiver, and given the fact that he is an extremely raw talent, he will need time to develop his technique before he can develop into a volume catcher at the next level.
