Las Vegas Raiders: 4 possible first-time All-Pros in 2021
Kolton Miller
The former UCLA product was considered a reach by many media pundits when he became the first draft choice in the Jon Gruden era. But the offensive tackle has paid back the Raiders investment in him by becoming a more than serviceable blindside tackle for Derek Carr.
After recently signing a lucrative new contract, Miller looks to be the main security blanket for Carr, or whoever may be the quarterback for quite some time in Las Vegas. In fact, it is hard to argue the contract, considering through over 950 snaps last season, Miller only allowed two sacks.
With hopefully a full bill of health this season, Miller can improve upon these numbers and become the catalyst for the newly revamped Raiders offensive line. Miller has very high odds to make an All-Pro team this season, and even becoming a captain could be in the cards for the mammoth 25-year-old tackle.
