Draft Profile: Bio
Blake Miller from Strongsville High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Miller opted to join Clemson.In 2022 as a freshman Miller saw action in 13 games and played a total of 887 snaps for the Tigers. He allowed 14 QB hurries, 3 QB hits, and 2 sacks while playing at right tackle.
As a sophomore in 2023 he played in 13 games and a total of 958 snaps. He conceded a disappointing 18 QB hurries, 2 QB hits, and 2 sacks while playing at right tackle.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- He’s a fluid mover in pass protection, with great coordination between his upper and lower body. Miller sets with a wide base, has the requisite core strength and plays with natural balance, capable of sitting back and handling power.
- Above-average football smarts and general intelligence. Plays with a nasty streak. Solid character and work ethic.
- Miller has long arms that allow him to survive as a pass protector on the edge, and Miller typically plays with good balance.
- Quick feet to get inside of defensive tackles to wall off inside and reach linebackers at the second level.
- Hand placement is excellent, and he shows a good understanding of angles when climbing upfield
- Willing to attack and punches multiple times to finish the play. Quick to pick up edge blitz and shows no panic, easily adjusting angles and resetting his feet. Can recover and reset his anchor. Rarely late off the snap.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Often simply tries to push pass rushers past the pocket. Miller can also look a bit hesitant when it comes to recognizing and reacting to twists, stunts and blitzes up front.
- Has good-not-great feet. Dealing with speed on the edge will likely be a problem, especially because he’s more comfortable moving forward as a run blocker than Miller is retreating as a pass protector.
- Raw as a pass protector, looking choppy and unnatural when moving back into his set, often playing too upright.
