The Chicago Bears made Miller (5-11, 199) a second-round selection (No. 51 overall) out of Memphis in 2018. He recorded 140 catches for 1,589 yards and 12 touchdowns in his first four NFL seasons while adding nine carries for 37 yards. Miller did not play in 2022 after being placed on injured reserve with a season-ending shoulder injury last August.
