Braxton Miller coming along so fast

Keep in mind this kid was a quarterback just one year ago and didn’t even make it through a full season.  Then he decided he’d switch to wide receiver, no easy task in any sense, had a decent year stat-wise for Ohio State and suddenly has begun to inflate his draft stock almost daily.

There is no doubting his athletic ability.  It was a matter of how fast he could adjust to the position switch.  Given the progress he’s already made, combined with the speed and quickness he has, it wouldn’t surprise anybody at all if he ends up a high Day 2 pick by the time it’s said and done.
