  When healthy, Chris Miller has been arguably the best cornerback at Colorado the past two seasons. CU coaches are hoping he can be more than that. A 6-foot, 190-pound junior, Miller could be wind up being one of the most versatile and impactful players on the Buffaloes' defense next season. "We were doing a Zoom donor meeting a couple weeks ago," defensive coordinator Tyson Summers said, "and one of the questions that was asked was, 'Who do you feel is going to be a player that really jumps out this season?' And (Miller) was one of the first names that I mentioned in that group." A cornerback since he arrived in Boulder from Denton, Texas, in the summer of 2017, Miller was listed as the starting strong safety in a recent "pencil" depth chart released by CU. He is also a candidate to play in CU's "star" position, a defensive back/linebacker hybrid.

"We feel that he's a unique player that can do a lot of things," head coach Karl Dorrell said. "We want him in multiple roles and he's embraced that challenge. But it's just a matter of getting him in those positions to see if he can handle all that information. We do plan on him being a big factor." For Miller to be a big factor, he has to be healthy, and that's been his biggest challenge. He has played in only 10 games at CU, with his 2018 season cut short because of a fractured thumb and his 2019 season limited to four games because of a torn ACL. He also missed spring practices in 2019 with a dislocated shoulder. "Physically I'm feeling good," Miller said last week. "I've been working really hard trying to get back as healthy as I can. I'm trying to be ready and have a great year and show the NFL scouts that I can be a great player and I will be." - Daily Camera
