Miller is an extremely fast and athletic running back, despite struggling in the Tide's backfield last season. The star running back recorded an impressive 4.43u 40-yard dash time, as Miller could very easily shine in the NFL next season with consistent playing time.
Miller was nothing short of elite throughout his entire performance at the combine in Indianapolis, as the former Tide running back continues to rise in a multitude of draft rankings around the football world.

Proctor played a crucial role on Alabama's offensive line last season. The star lineman reportedly slimmed down prior to the NFL combine, as Proctor displayed elite speed and athleticism throughout Sunday's combine in Indianapolis.
Proctor is widely expected to be a mid-to-late first round selection in April, as the talented lineman's efforts during the combine could quickly begin to work in Proctor's favor during next month's draft.
The 2026 NFL draft will take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania starting on April 23, as each Crimson Tide star will look to shine throughout their rookie campaign in the NFL.
