Braxton Miller position change would boost his NFL future OSU
Ohio State's Braxton Miller is making a very hard decision, as he said on Thursday that he'll for the 2015 season.It's very difficult for a quarterback, especially a two-time Big Ten Player of the Year like Miller, to say "I want to play a different position." Quarterback is the marquee position in football Brandon Zylstra Jersey , and I applaud Miller for being open to the change.Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer and Miller's father have said the position switch is , but if Miller does transition to a new spot, it will be a great move that enhances his NFL future and also helps Ohio State in 2015.After mi sing the entire 2014 season with a shoulder injury, Miller faced an uphill battle this year in a three-way quarterback competition with J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones, as the shoulder is still keeping him from getting velocity on his throws. But even before Miller was ruled out for the 2014 season with the injury, I felt the best position for him long-term was running back. I did Donte Jackson Jersey not view him as a future NFL quarterback, as his strength is as a runner, not as a pa ser.Now, he says he'll play mostly H-back and punt returner in 2015, and I think he'd be a good fit for the Jeremy Chinn Jersey role. Ohio State can line him up all over the field and it really gives the team a lot of versatility on offense. It's a much better situation that having a three-man logjam at the quarterback position.Miller has a great feel as a runner. He knows when to turn it up, and he knows when to move outside and move inside. He's really built to be a running back. He measured 6-foot-1 Brady Christensen Jersey 3/8, 210 pounds this spring and his speed is estimated at 4.5. That's probably a conservative estimate. He has soft hands, too, and can catch the football. He'll have to work on his route-running to prepare for his new opportunities as a receiver.He reminds me of Paul Hornung when he was at Notre Dame. Hornung won the Heisman Trophy as a quarterback and was drafted by the to play running back. He went on to a career. I'm not suggesting Miller is headed for Canton, but I see similarities.Moving away from quarterback gives Miller a jumpstart on a position he can play in the NFL, and that's a great situation John Miller Jersey for him. He's a very talented player with a body for the H-back position. I think he can make a smooth transition, if he indeed is headed for the switch.Follow Gil Brandt on Twitter __.
