The Arizona Cardinals selected Miller in the first round (tenth pick overall) of the 1994 NFL Draft. [3] He played for the Cardinals from 1994 to 1998. [4] He played for the Cleveland Browns from 1999 to 2001. [4]
On August 10, 2002, in a preseason game against Minnesota, Miller ruptured his right achilles tendon. [5] He attempted to rehab the injury and return the following year, but a middling April 2003 workout (by his admission) and advice from his doctors convinced him to announce his retirement on May 16. [6]
Up until 2007, he was the only Browns player to be selected to the Pro Bowl since the team re-entered the NFL in 1999. In 2007, seven Browns players were nominated to the 2008 Pro Bowl.
Miller was one of four linebackers selected to the Associated Press All-Pro team in 2001. (The other 3 were Jason Gildon, Brian Urlacher, and Ray Lewis.)
Miller was carted off the field after tearing his right Achilles tendon in a 27–15 preseason victory over the Minnesota Vikings to start the 2002 pre-season. He was placed on injured reserve August 13, 2002, but the severity of his injury led to him being waived on February 22, 2003, the end of the 2002 campaign. Afterwards he retired.
