Falcons' 13th pick in 1987; Pro Bowl after the 1991 season

Chris Miller was born on August 9, 1965, in Pomona, California, played college football at Oregon, and was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons with the 13th pick in 1987. He led the NFL in lowest interception percentage in 1989. In 1991 he threw for 3,103 yards and 26 touchdowns and was voted to the Pro Bowl; Madden NFL 92 put him at a calculated 59 for that year.

On December 28, 1991, Miller went 18 of 30 for 291 yards and three touchdowns in a 27-20 wild-card win at New Orleans, Atlanta's first playoff win since 1978. A week later he threw four interceptions in a 24-7 divisional loss at Washington. He tore an ACL in 1992 and tore the same knee in 1993; Madden NFL 93 and Madden NFL 94 put him at a calculated 62 and 69.

Miller signed with the Rams in 1994 and started 10 games, a season Madden NFL 95 put him at a calculated 90. He was released after 13 starts in St. Louis in 1995 and retired, having taken five concussions in 14 months. He came back for three starts with Denver in 1999, then a concussion against Oakland ended his career in January 2000. Miller finished with 19,320 passing yards, 123 touchdowns and 102 interceptions, and entered the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 2005.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
About the starred rows*: Several early Madden releases rated players on a 1-15 scale, as printed in the game manuals, rather than the modern 0-99. We store those ratings converted to 0-99 (each manual point is about 6.6) so you can compare players across eras at a glance - use the 0-99 / 1-15 toggle above the table to see the original numbers on those seasons. EA didn’t publish an overall rating in those games, so the OVR* values for those years are our own calculation, the average of the player’s two best ratings.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
