Kendre Miller measured 5'11 1/8" and weighed 215 pounds at the Combine.
Most likely, Miller will be drafted in Round 3 or 4. With Miller probably being available when the Lions are scheduled to be on the clock with Pick # 81 in Round 3.
My preference is for the Lions to go in another direction at RB, unless Miller unexpectedly is available with Pick # 152 in Round 5, the Lions haven't drafted a RB yet, and no one else jumps out with Pick # 152 (Pick # 159).
Two concerns with Miller as a RB are he fumbled 6 times in 361 college carries with TCU and he's an upright rusher. The MCL knee injury Miller is dealing with could easily be an indicator of what's ahead for Miller. I hope that's not the case.
