He's big and has wrestling techniques that'll serve him well in the NFL. He's Colin Miller, a 6'3, 300ooo pound free agent offensive lineman who the Raiders signed as a backup.
His NFL experience is nil with a stint in the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp last season. So it's another wait-n-see player with huge promise in this new approach youthful movement by the Raiders.
Here's a few intriguing things I read about Colin Miller:
At his Pro Day in March of 2011, Miller completed 32 225 lb. bench reps and had a 27" vertical jump.
In high school, Miller posted a 60-0 record and won the Virginia state wrestling title.
Wow..someone actually did some research on this kid, well done!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the raiders found themselves a good one! I wish Colin Miller well!
ReplyDeleteI happen to know Colin as he grew up in my neighborhood. Great kid! While he went 60-0 to a state wrestling title in the heavyweight division (270+ weight class), he played bass in a HS rock band. Well rounded kid, and strong like a tractor stuck in low gear. Very quick out to the second level. Glad to see him land with the Raiders.
