2023 NFL DRAFT: KENDRE MILLER

By Brandon Lane

TCU (JR), RB

Making the transition from high school quarterback to running back at TCU Miller slotted in behind teammate Zach Evans. It wasn’t until Evans transfered to Ole Miss in 2022 that Miller took over as starter for the Horned Frogs rushing 224 times for 1399 yards and 17 touchdowns. His season was rewarded by taking home first-team All-Big 12 honors and being named a semifinalist for the Doak Walker Award. We expect Miller to be a top 5 back off the board in this year’s NFL Draft.

Pluses:

• Explosive runner with good size
• Excellent acceleration
• Smooth

Concerns:

• Upright style and pad level could be an issue at the next level
• Wasn’t asked to catch passes but the ability is there
• Needs work on route running
• Needs to work on pass-protection
