Ohio State Football: Inside Braxton Miller's 1st Day as a Wide Receiver

COLUMBUS, Ohio — As he stood on the practice field outside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, it'd be hard to argue that Braxton Miller didn't look the part.

Preparing to participate in his first official practice as a wide receiver, Miller donned a new jersey —trading in his No. 5 for a No. 1—a visored helmet and perhaps most importantly, gloves.

At 6'2" and 215 pounds, the former Buckeyes quarterback stretched with his old position group before the start of Ohio State's first practice of preseason camp on Monday but soon found himself running routes once individual drills began.
