As I continue to explore the world of college football and the recruiting process the more I realize that its often a crap shoot. Sometimes coaches are dead on about a players potential like Reggie Bush or Vince Young who both were ranked as 5 star recruits out of high school. On the flip side there are always those players that slip through and get recruited by the smaller schools; like Brian Urlacher (New Mexico) or Jarrett Dillard (Rice) but end up showing that their talent was on par with the big schools.
In my opinion Jaron Miller out of New Orleans has the potential to be one of those players. The senior who is currently a 2 star prospect has committed to Tulane University. The same school that the current Bears running back Matt Forte attended. In my opinion Forte was the best wrong back I faced in my 4 years including the likes of Darius Walker of Notre Dame and Micheal Bush of Louisville.
When it comes to Miller it is clear that he has the physical tools to be a top flight receiver. Standing at 6'4 and 200lbs, he will be able to out muscle and out jump most defensive backs before stepping onto campus. Now, Miller does not possess elite speed, but does well enough to create separation. The other thing that Miller does extremely well is use his body to ward off defenders and make tough catches in traffic. He never seems to shy away from contact making tough catch after tough catch in the middle of the field. In my mind he is a possession receiver who can do some serious damage moving the chains and in the red zone. Needless to say time will tell on how this senior develops when he is Making the Jump from high school to college.
Check out his highlights and let me know what you all think.
