Alpha 1

Braxton Miller was everything but outspoken.

He arrived in Columbus during that awkward period when the head coach he had committed to in spring was no longer there in the fall. His quiet personality suddenly fit the times; Braxton never talked too much - let alone raised his voice - which was on-brand for a 2011 team that didn't end up saying much at all.

His predecessor Terrelle Pryor, who followed his coach out of town that summer, was as alpha a quarterback as Ohio State has ever had. He was intimidating even while standing still. Miller at least had to twitch to intimidate people.
