Christian Miller 2019 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Over the years, football fans have become accustomed to seeing Nick Saban<\/strong> and the Alabama Crimson Tide boasting one of the nation’s best defenses. This year was no different as the Tide boasted the likes of potential number one pick\u00a0Quinnen Williams<\/a><\/strong> and the subject of this draft profile, Christian Miller<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Miller came to Alabama four seasons ago as a highly touted recruit. However, he wasn’t ever a headliner with the Crimson Tide. Miller did put in four solid seasons which proved that he could not only set the edge and rush the quarterback, but also drop back into coverage as a linebacker, his natural position. This versatility will be crucial as he looks to make the jump into the NFL. Miller’s best season came last year where he racked up 34 total tackles and eight sacks for the Tide. One red flag with Miller is durability as he did sit out of a variety of drills at the Combine including the 40-yard dash due to a hamstring injury, something that plagued him throughout the season.<\/p>\n
