When Braxton Miller switched to wide receiver, nobody doubted the athleticism. But there were intricacies involved in the switch some thought may not come as naturally.
It was an up and down year for Miller at his new position. After the season, he admitted he thought he was "underutilized" in the offense.
Braxton, however, is on to the NFL. His first stop is at the Senior Bowl. Earlier on Tuesday, he weighed-in at a "lean and mean" 6-1, 204 pounds.
His North squad opened practice on Tuesday afternoon, and it didn't take Miller long to put himself on another plane. To say his reviews were "glowing" would be an understatement.
His stock soared before the final whistle:
Other wideouts dont compare to Braxton Miller in agility drills. Amazing athlete. #SeniorBowl

Tavon Young just got DUSTED on a fade from @BraxtonMiller5. Gave him a shoulder dip and exploded up field.

When it comes to athletes at North practice, it's Braxton Miller and then everyone else. He's clearly a step above #SeniorBowl

Braxton Miller diving catch, bailing out Kevin Hogan outside throw. Not A Project #SeniorBowl

Braxton Miller = filthy routes. Think Golden Tate with 2 more inches and 20 more pounds, they move the same

Love the way Braxton Miller/Ohio State uses his hands to separate. Just left Eric Murray in the dust.

Man, Braxton Miller can fly. Kevin Hogan just overthrew him on a 40 yard bomb.

Braxton Miller's route running had been good. Crisp.

I'm confident in Braxton Miller as a WR because he's deliberate, focused as a dev. route runner. Just matter of reps w/ footwork #SeniorBowl

Guys that pop out so obviously on the field like Braxton Miller and Kenneth Dixon are the guys you want to invest in. Difference makers

Braxton Miller doing a nice job fielding punts. Doesn't have special teams experience at OSU, but DAL staff coaching him up as a return man

My humble prediction? Somebody is going to look smart grabbing Miller early in the 2016 draft.
