“First and foremost, I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ – for the opportunities.

I’m grateful for His guidance, His protection, and His purpose over my life,” Miller wrote.
“To my family, friends, and everyone in my corner – thank you! Thank you for everything you do behind the scenes: the prayers, the sacrifices, the love, and the faith you pour into me daily. I’m truly grateful, and I wouldn’t be here without you.
“To all of my coaches and the entire football staff: thank you for helping develop me into the man l am – on the field and in the locker room. Thank you to Coach Kirby and Coach Scott for believing in me, pushing me, and holding me to a standard that helped shape me into the leader I needed to become – the leader God has called me to be. And to my teammates, thank you for the work, the bond, and the accountability that made me better every day.
“Lastly, thank you to Dawg Nation for embracing a kid from the east side of Atlanta and exposing me to experiences that helped me grow and transform into who l am today. Your support has helped prepare me to take this next step and dominate at the next level.
“With that being said, I’m excited to be declared for the NFL Draft.”
