TAMPA — In the weeks and months leading up to the the NFL draft, the buzz inside the Bucs facility grew about this small, but swift wide receiver out of Bowling Green, and how the team might have found a hidden gem.
Scotty Miller’s game film showed enough to be impressed. His speed was evident, from both the slot and outside receiver positions, complemented by a combination of footwork and hustle that allowed him to cut downfield and leave defenders behind. But NFL scouts largely ignored a mid-major Bowling Green program that went through a mid-season coaching change and finished with just three victories.
