Overview
- Detroit selected Miller in the first round Thursday, filling the vacancy created when longtime starter Taylor Decker was released this spring.
- Head coach Dan Campbell said Sewell will shift to left tackle, with Miller set to battle veteran Larry Borom for the right tackle job.
- The 6-foot-7, 317-pound Miller started 54 straight games at Clemson and logged a program-record 3,778 snaps.
- GM Brad Holmes said he had targeted Miller for years and explored trading up before staying at No. 17 to preserve draft capital.
- Evaluators cite Miller’s athletic traits and finishing mindset but note he must tighten hand placement and pad level, and the pick ends Clemson’s modern-era first-round drought for offensive linemen.
