Kendre Miller Has Plenty Of Upside
2 years agoNew Orleans Saints assistant general manager Jeff Ireland said rookie running back Kendre Miller has "huge upside." The Saints took Miller in the third round of this year's NFL draft, and he could have a pretty sizeable role in his first season with Alvin Kamara likely to draw some sort of suspension to kick off the 2023 season. The 20-year-old had 1399 yards and 17 touchdowns on 224 carries for TCU on the way to the National Championship game. Miller doesn't have a lot of pass-catching skills, but he should be relevant in single-year leagues if Kamara is suspended at some point. "It all goes back to height, weight and speed. Loved his running style. He's a down-hill runner, runs with great pad level. He's got explosive breakaway speed in the open field. He's creative. He makes people miss. And we just felt like, man, this is too good to be true," Ireland said.
