Wrestling Champ Colin Miller A Raider


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. 
Welcome aboard ship Colin.  Now block like a bandit protecting his booty and you might share in the triumphs and treasures of future Raiders conquests.

    I 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.
