And now, today’s Forgotten Texans Draft Pick…
BRAXTON MILLER:
The Houston Texans selected Ohio State QB/WR Braxton Miller with their third-round pick (85th overall) in the 2016 NFL draft. He was theoretically considered sort of a “Swiss Army knife” type player due to his versatility and athleticism, and he began the season as our #3 receiver behind DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller. However, he was rarely utilized (he and Bill O’Brien famously did not get along) and his stats were pretty pedestrian, with only 15 receptions on 29 targets, and then he broke his shoulder toward the end of the year. His next season was similarly mediocre, and he was waived by the Texans on September 1, 2018. Miller had short stints with the Eagles, Browns, and Panthers, but never played another NFL snap. Now that he’s retired, he runs The Braxton Miller Foundation, which puts on STEM and sports camps for kids.
