Braxton Miller is building up his highlight reel for NFL scouts as he makes a seamless transition to the wide receiver position.
Braxton Miller you are ridiculous. I thought he’d be a dangerous weapon as a wide receiver/h-back but I didn’t think it would happen so soon.

Miller is arguably the best player on the field tonight for Ohio State as they take on the only team to beat them last year in Virginia Tech. He has three catches in the game so far and each of them are highlight-reel worthy and should catch the eye of NFL scouts who want to draft Miller at that position next spring.
He’s only going to get better as he gets more reps too. This is only the first game he’s played at this position and he’s doing it against one of the better defenses and better secondaries in the ACC and perhaps the country in Virginia Tech.
But just watch him when he gets the balls in his hands in the backfield like we’ve grown accustomed to in Miller’s career and the jaw-dropping spin move he executed en route to a 53-yard touchdown.
Bud Foster is one of the best defensive coordinators in the nation but he hasn’t been able to slow down the two-time Big Ten Player of the Year who has two highlight-reel touchdowns in the second half as the Buckeyes extended their lead to 28-17.
Ohio State trailed 17-14 at the half, but the way the third quarter is going and with Miller getting more comfortable with every snap, it may be difficult for the home team to pull off the upset of the No. 1 team in the country and beat the Buckeyes for a second year in a row.
