 My gut tells me Miller is going to have his hands full displacing Muma. This could be a good camp/preseason battle once the pad are on. I looked at some stats. (below) interestingly enough the gap between Muma and Miller is the same as between Muma and Lloyd but those are just measurements.

Miller - 6'0" - 232 - 4.71 40yd - NFL.com grade 5.99, Draftbuzz rating 81.2, PFF 68.4 (think his knee influenced this grade)
Muma - 6'3" - 239 - 4.63 40yd - NFL.com grade 6.19, Draftbuzz rating 84.5, PFF 90.3

Not high on Miller at all. He hasn't played a down yet. Muma at least has seen live action in actual contests that mattered. He's had a few things to like and not like about him. I have seen him take some bad angles on one play, but, he'll recover the next play and break up a pass or disrupt an intended target in the passing game. 

Miller will have to cut his teeth on special team's this year. Maybe he'll clean a few clocks during the preseason kick off returns or make some good tackles, but, he's honestly a Shaq Quaterman replacement to me, he'll be a good role player, just not somebody I see outright taking over a series or two in the starting line up. 

Either way, the LB room is crowded with a lot of high investments. Somebody at some point is potential trade bait this year. Could very well be Muma if I am being fair.
