Kolton Miller

Kolton Miller‘s growth in year-two has been a tremendous step in the right direction. Coming off a rookie season where he committed a league-high 16 sacks, his worth of being a first-round pick remained questioned around the league.

In Miller’s start to the 2019 season he’s played every snap and has only allowed two sacks through eight games. Looking back to last season against the Chargers, Miller experienced his worst game in the NFL when he allowed three sacks and eight pressures.

Now that Miller looks to be a different player than he was during his rookie campaign, he’s a player to watch with a potential revenge game in the making as the Chargers come into Oakland.

Solidifying the edge at left tackle has been a key component to the Raiders success this season and doing so against the Chargers will be crucial in order to minimize the efforts of Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram.
