The New England Patriots selected Alabama RB Jamarion Miller in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Despite leading Alabama in rushing each of the past two seasons, he averaged just 48.8 yards per game in that span. Efficiency never spiked either, with 4.6 yards per carry as a junior and 3.9 as a senior. That’s underwhelming output for a top-5 RB recruit in the 2022 class, per 247Sports. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Miller ranked ninth in 2025 rushing market share (44.1%), and 19th in yards after contact per attempt (2.45). He ranked 16th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.17) and 14th in receiving yards per route run (0.75). He will turn 22 years old next week.
Draft Sharks Rookie Guide: “The tape tells a slightly better story. Miller flashes plus contact balance and runs hard between the tackles. Just be aware: The passing game likely remains secondary after 35 catches and five drops over his final two seasons”
Miller lacks ideal production, but his solid run style could earn him a roster spot on the Patriots. After Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, the team lacks RB depth.
Miller will likely battle UDFA Terrell Jennings and veteran Elijah Mitchell for a roster spot.
Miller could develop a bit more and contribute over the long term. He isn’t draftable in rookie drafts, but worth keeping an eye on to see if he can make the roster.
