NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah believes Ohio State junior QB Braxton Miller is an "exciting player but VERY raw."
Jeremiah notes Miller is a special athlete and possesses an explosive arm, but the negatives are obvious. Miller has "inconsistent accuracy/touch from the pocket" and is "at his best when things break down." There's a lot to like about the Buckeye passer, but he needs to progress his skills form the pocket. Jun 15 - 11:27 AM

Ohio State junior QB Braxton Miller apparently ran a 4.32 forty and the time was recorded by the team's strength and conditioning staff.

Junior corner Bradley Roby ran the fastest forty, with a time of 4.26 seconds. We'd add .10 seconds to these times to be on the safe side, but obviously both players are very fast. Junior linebacker Ryan Shazier also reportedly clocked in a time of 4.35 seconds.

Braxton Miller - QB - Buckeyes

ESPN's Brock Huard ranks Ohio State junior Braxton Miller as the No. 5 draft-eligible QB for the 2014 draft.

Miller checks in behind Teddy Bridgewater, Tajh Boyd, Aaron Murray, and Marcus Mariota. However, Huard does place Miller ahead of big names like A.J. McCarron, Johnny Manziel, Stephen Morris, Logan Thomas, and Derek Carr. "Accuracy can't always be taught, but neither can winning and toughness," Huard writes. "If his passing efficiency improves, Miller's stock will soar and NFL teams will clamor for a leader they couldn't find in the 2013 draft."

During a radio interview, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said he plans on stealing some of the things the San Francisco 49ers run on offense.

Meyer said the 49ers are doing stuff he had never seen before. Quarterback Braxton Miller is already expected to take the next step in 2013, but more pistol could be a good thing for the young quarterback. We already know he is a terrific athlete, but solid decision making is critical as well.

"All the test results came back negative, which is positive," head coach Urban Meyer said. Miller was taken out of the game against Purdue after landing on his head on the tail end of a run and immediately taken to the hospital. If he practices pain-free, expect Miller to start against Penn State on Saturday.

Ohio State sophomore QB Braxton Miller is "doing fine" after his visit to the hospital during Saturday's game against Purdue.

Miller's shoulders, neck and head were all examined and everything apparently came back okay. It looked much worse on the field, as Miller stayed down for quite a while and appeared wobbly when helped off. Don't expect word on his availability for next week for another few days.

Braxton Miller - QB - Buckeyes

Ohio State sophomore starting QB Braxton Miller was sidelined during the third quarter of Saturday's game against Purdue after being slammed to the ground following a run.

Miller was down on the field for quite some time and it appears a cart will take him to the locker room from the sideline. ESPN is now reporting that Miller is headed to a local hospital via an ambulance. The sophomore seemed to have slammed his head on the ground during the tackle, but trainers were also checking his leg.

Braxton Miller - QB - Buckeyes

Ohio State sophomore QB Braxton Miller injured his left knee on a play that resulted in a fumble, but is expected to return to the game.

Miller underwent ACL tests on the sideline, and everything came back negative according to sideline reporter Heather Cox. The sophomore's knee apparently hyper-extended while his foot stuck in the ground. Still, the Buckeyes would be wise to decrease his rushing attempts, but his effectiveness is undeniable.

Braxton Miller - QB - Buckeyes

During his press conference on Tuesday, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said he expects Cal to play an extra defender in the box to force the Buckeyes to throw during Saturday's game.

Sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller has rushed for 302 yards on 6.9 yards per carry, but many came after scrambling on called passes. In fact, Miller has only attempted four more throws than runs. The sophomore has shown progress this season, specifically with his decision making after only throwing one interception thus far.

Braxton Miller - QB - Buckeyes

Freshman QB Braxton Miller will continue to start for the Buckeyes, according to head coach Luke Fickell.

The vote of confidence comes after Miller was benched in favor of backup Joe Bauserman during Saturday's loss to Michigan State. Miller may continue to struggle this week however, as it was announced that the team would be without receivers DeVier Posey and Verlon Reed for their upcoming game against Nebraska.
