Following an impressive Pro Timing Day in early March, Miller was invited to a private workout for the Giants last Monday. He received an offer from New York shortly after the workout and soon signed a standard three-year rookie contract as a free agent.
“There was a national scout for the Giants named Mike Derice who knew about me from my time at Columbia,” Miller explained. “The Giants were interested in me and he asked about my eligibility situation at South Carolina.
“After I put up my numbers at my pro day, I was invited to a private workout,” he added. “I worked out in front of the coaching staff and the front office staff. It took me about a day to realize New York is a great place to be. It’s a great organization to play for and I hope I bring a lot to the team.”
The Giants weren’t the only organization eyeing Miller’s potential. He also received interest from Cleveland, Carolina, Jacksonville, the LA Chargers and Tampa Bay, among others.
Since the new year, Miller has played in the invite-only College Gridiron Showcase and relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to continue his training with XPE Sports, which has trained over 30 first-round picks.
Participating in USC’s Pro Timing Day March 12, Miller blazed his way to the attention of NFL scouts and organizations, including Derice and the Giants.
He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.27 seconds, the fastest time of the 15 former Gamecocks working out. In a previous RO article, Miller said he wanted “to run a 4.2.”
Miller also led all players with the highest vertical jump (37.5 inches) and longest broad jump (10 feet, 9 inches). He pumped out 28 reps of 225 pounds, ran the shuttle in 4.50 seconds and completed the three-cone drill in 7.41 seconds.

It is not his speed it is his ability to make cuts at full speed.
He hits the hole with aggression.
The Video is from his time at Columbia and since then he has gone from 185 lbs to 200 lbs without losing speed or quickness.
He reminds me of Joe Morris.
