The Mizzou transfer was named to the All-SWAC team each year and won the SWAC Defensive Player of the Year in 2022.
Upon entering the 2023 NFL Draft, Miller was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Miami Dolphins, eventually being cut before the start of the regular season.
Miller joins an Edmonton Elks team that finished with a 4-14 record in the 2023 season, marking their fourth losing year in as many seasons.
