Kolton Miller might be one of the NFL’s most underrated players. The former UCLA star has improved every season that he’s been in the league and routinely shuts down the top pass rushers in the conference. But where does he rank among his peers?
In a recent article by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, he spoke with dozens of NFL executives, coaches, and decision-makers and asked them to rank the top 10 players at every position.
During the offensive tackle section, it was fascinating to see that Miller was ranked outside the top 12 offensive tackles. However, one AFC executive did have several positive things to say about the former first-round pick from UCLA:
“Improved quickly over course of his career. Good in both run and pass. Struggled with anchor early in his career and has improved to a Pro Bowl-level player.” — veteran AFC personnel man
The Raiders are very fortunate to have Miller protecting the blindside of whoever is behind center in Las Vegas. And his improvement in the run game has allowed him to become one of the most complete tackles in the league. Entering Year 7, expect Miller to be even better this season as his growth has been linear to date.
