Green Bay Packers Draft: 5 possible day two selections in 2018 NFL Draft
By Joe Kipp
3. Anthony Miller, WR, Memphis
Anthony Miller has been compared to former Packers receiver Greg Jennings, and for good reason. Both players were smaller guys who came from smaller schools, and their measurables compare very similarly. Not to mention they’d both be second-round draftees.
Miller isn’t the biggest, fastest or strongest player. However, he’s a tremendous route runner with quick feet and uses his savvy football ability rather than athleticism to get open. He’s also slippery after the catch and has the ability to create plays out of nowhere.
Standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 200 pounds, Miller would complement the big-bodied Davante Adams on the outside very nicely. Randall Cobb would man the slot, while newly signed Jimmy Graham would act as a faux tight end. For a smaller receiver, Miller has ginormous hands at 10 5/8 inches, which allow him to haul in spectacular catches.
Earlier this week, Miller had a featured article in The Players’ Tribune, where he penned an open letter to NFL general managers, pegging himself as the No. 1 receiver in the 2018 class. If the value is right, Miller would be a nice asset to the Packers’ receiving corps.
