Blake Miller, OT

HT: 6’6″

WT: 310 lbs

School: Clemson

Blake Miller is one of the most experienced offensive tackles in this draft class. A four-year starter at Clemson, he started all 54 games the past four seasons (most consecutive starts by a non-specialist in school history) and set the Clemson record for career offensive snaps played (3,778).

Here is our scouting report on Blake Miller.

Initial Quicks: Miller displays impressive snap-to-whistle urgency. He fires off the ball with a low center of gravity for a man of his stature. His footwork is efficient, allowing him to gain ground quickly on vertical sets and frequently beat defensive linemen to the “spot” on reach blocks.

Run Block: A technician in the run game, Miller understands the nuances of leverage. He consistently stays on defenders, using his wide base to maintain balance and control. He is a “displacement” blocker who can turn his hips to create clear rushing lanes.

Pass Block: Miller operates with a smooth, rhythmic kick-slide. He establishes his anchor early and shows the lateral agility to mirror speed rushers effectively. He remains patient in his set, avoiding the urge to lung, and possesses the recovery speed to adjust in space if a defender counters inside.

Explosion: He plays with a high motor and noticeable “pop” at the point of attack. Miller isn’t just looking to wall off defenders; he looks to finish blocks through the whistle. He maintains a consistent knee bend, allowing him to play low and uncoil with power into the frame of the defender.

Use of Hands: His hand placement is a primary strength. He excels at getting immediate separation by landing heavy strikes to the defender’s chest. He is adept at “resetting” his hands to maintain control and utilizes his length to keep long-arm rushers from getting into his pads.

Pull & Trap: For a tackle of his size, Miller is surprisingly light on his feet when asked to pull. He identifies moving targets at the second level with ease and shows the body control to adjust his path mid-stride, consistently making impactful contact with linebackers in space.

Strength: He possesses true “anchor” strength. Miller is difficult to bull-rush, and once he locks his hands, he effectively neutralizes the defender’s momentum. In the run game, he shows the functional leg drive to move the pile and create vertical movement at the line of scrimmage.

Final Scouting Report: Blake Miller is a prototypical “set-it-and-forget-it” right tackle prospect with the frame and functional strength to compete early at the next level. His combination of technical hand usage and a nasty finishing streak makes him a high-floor prospect in both zone and gap-heavy schemes. While his height can sometimes lead to pad-level creep, his natural flexibility and football IQ allow him to recover and maintain leverage throughout the rep. He projects as a reliable starter who brings a physical, disciplined presence to the offensive line.
