Miller is a 4.8 40 time linebacker, he's not nearly athletic enough to do anything but run stuff in the middle. I know your reflexive instinct is to defend all thing Gata, but he was over drafted and is quite limited. I thought he'd be a 3rd day Teams pick but our trusty GM reached for his favorite position anyway.

Miller didn't even run a 40 at the combine or his pro day because he was coming off an injury lol.  You are throwing [BLEEP] at the wall again hoping it sticks.  Swing and a miss for you once again as usual.  If he did run the 40 I'd probably say around a 4.6.  He can play any of the 3 LB spots, health will be the only concern.  Have you ever seen him play?

Ok bud, here we go:

He was slow coming out of high school: https://www.espn.com/college-sports/foot...ell-miller

He's NFL slow coming out of college: https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Vent...LB-Florida (Just to put the point on it, he was 4.82 at the ESPN College Combine)

He's slow by NFL standards: https://draftscout.com/dsprofile.php?Pla...tYear=2023

Everyone but you knows he's slow: https://www.nfl.com/prospects/ventrell-m...1b4a1c244f
nes

* Step slow to read keys and attack downhill. * Gets behind the action and runs into climbing blocks. * Field range and overall speed are below average. * Needs more proactive block challenge to constrict the run lane. * Struggled to find playmaking angles against Georgia’s front. * Will struggle with NFL man coverage.

He was projected as a 5/6 by Zuerlein: https://www.nfl.com/prospects/ventrell-m...1b4a1c244f

A 5 by Draft Buzz: https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Vent...LB-Florida

Back Sports Page had a 6: https://www.backsportspage.com/nfl-draft...ll-miller/

Draft Scout had him a 6/7: https://www.backsportspage.com/nfl-draft...ll-miller/

Like I said, you have to defend him because he's a gata; being a gata doesn't mean he's any good.
