Highly rated Georgia defensive tackle Christen Miller visiting Packers
Georgia defensive lineman Christen Miller, a likely second-round draft pick, is making a pre-draft visit with the Packers.
Per NFL rules, the Green Bay Packers are allowed to host up to 30 draft-eligible players (excluding “local” prospects, such as those in the UW system or nearby regional schools such as Northern Illinois) for in-person visits. The Journal Sentinel is tracking the visits and supplying profiles based on information from sources and published reports. GREEN BAY – The Green Bay Packers like players from Georgia.
And they really like players from Georgia who play on the defensive line. The Packers currently have three Georgia linemen – Devonte Wyatt , Warren Brinson and Nazir Stackhouse – on their 80-man roster. So, it’s not surprising that they’re interested in Christen Miller , one of the top-rated defensive tackles in the NFL draft.
Count him among the players the Packers are bringing in for top-30 pre-draft visits, according to KPRC 2 in Houston. The 6-foot-4, 321-pound Miller played with Brinson and Stackhouse, starting 10 games in 2024, and then 14 last season after the other two moved on to the NFL. Miller had 50 tackles, including 7½ for loss in his final two years.
Miller played multiple positions at Georgia, as most defensive linemen there do, but he was consistently a force in the middle against the run. His quick get-off could result in him developing more pass rush success, especially if he is allowed to play off the nose. The engaging Miller, who like Brinson, handles himself deftly in front of microphones, said he has grown up considerably since getting pulled over for going 30 mph over the speed limit in March 2023.
