When Kolton Miller was selected by the then-Oakland Raiders in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Raider Nation was not too pleased. Miller was seen as a stretch at pick No. 15 overall, especially for a team that already had a Pro Bowl left tackle in Donald Penn, but the selection has certainly worked out.

Miller stepped in as a rookie and beat out Penn, who moved over to the right side, but he certainly struggled big time in his first season of professional football.
