Prospect Roundup: UCLA 0T Kolton Miller

We see it every year after the NFL Combine. Athletic freaks that test through the roof in the “Underwear Olympics” get vaulted up big boards over players with better tape and average testing times.

This is partially due to how scouting works regarding when head coaches finally get their eyes on the prospects.
