QB/WR Braxton Miller (B1G POY, National Champion, OSU HOF)

Placed on IR and shut down for the year. Last word was a sprain with no structural damage, so not sure if Houston is being cautious or if something has changed.

Q&A: FORMER OHIO STATE QUARTERBACK AND WIDE RECEIVER BRAXTON MILLER TALKS NFL TRANSITION, HIS HEALTH AND MORE
79450_h.jpg


Braxton Miller's name is synonymous with greatness at Ohio State.

The former star won a boatload of games as starting quarterback for the Buckeyes under Urban Meyer in 2012 and 2013, winning the Silver Football as the Big Ten's Most Valuable Player both seasons. An injured shoulder cost him his 2014 season and forced a move to wide receiver for his senior year before he ultimately became one of 12 Buckeyes to hear be selected in the 2016 NFL Draft.

The Houston Texans drafted the electric athlete and Springfield, Ohio native in the third round of the draft (85th overall). He finished his rookie year on injured reserve after hurting his right shoulder in a 21-13 loss at Green Bay on Dec. 4. Miller caught 15 passes for 99 yards and a touchdown in his first NFL season.

The Texans won the AFC South and beat Oakland 27-14 in an AFC Wild Card game but bowed out in New England a week later, losing to the Patriots in Foxborough, Massachusetts 34-16.

While in Los Angeles ahead of the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl where he and other rookie NFL players will sign their rookie trading cards that will be put into remaining 2016-17 Panini Football products, like its digital trading card app, Eleven Warriors briefly caught up with Miller to discuss an array of topics.

Below are the highlights from the 10-minute conversation we had with the Buckeye legend.

Eleven Warriors: First off, how is life as an NFL player? Does it feel like your rookie season is already over?

Braxton Miller: Yeah, man. It took forever I feel like. Getting prepared, starting with the combine, pro day, rookie minicamp, OTAs, then camp. It's been a long season.

11W: What would you say has been your biggest adjustment from being a college football star to an NFL player?

BM: I'd say the biggest part is just taking care of your body on a day-to-day basis. That's the most important.

11W: How different are your daily activities and preparations now that you are a professional player?

BM: In college, I'd just go to practice, go out there and practice. Never really focused on taking care of my body. In the NFL that's the main focus. From entering the building to leaving the building. Absolutely after you leave too. That's an extra task. But it's good for you.

FORMER OHIO STATE STAR BRAXTON MILLER ‘BUGGING’ WES WELKER FOR WIDE RECEIVER TIPS IN YEAR 2 WITH HOUSTON TEXANS

82667_h.jpg


From HoustonTexans.com:

"The role he played is the type of role I'm playing in this offense," Miller said after Wednesday's practice. "So it's a great opportunity for me to learn from one of the greatest slot players to play the game. Especially in this type of system."

Welker's assisting receivers coach John Perry, and also helping special teams coordinator Larry Izzo and assistant Doug Colman. Miller, in year two as a pro, said he's taken advantage of being around Welker.

"I'm always in his ear, bugging him, as you can see after practice," Miller explained. "I was just asking him all types of questions. What did he see? What did I do wrong today? After every play, he's always correcting what I did wrong. Then I just go out there on the next play and fix it."
