Kendre Miller

It's been pretty much no-boom, all-bust with Miller since the Saints selected him in the third round out of TCU in 2023, and by now it would be understandable if someone were losing their patience, the Saints included. Miller has been injured almost constantly since that draft, playing in only 14 games, including only six games in 2024 after suffering a hamstring injury on the first day of training camp. That injury kept out Miller until Week 7, yet in his second game back Miller suffered another hamstring injury, which left him inactive for the next five weeks. Alvin Kamara is locked into a three-down role for 2025, and Miller's best-case scenario is likely one where he's a sparingly used RB2 behind Kamara. Not even that much is assured, though, because rookie sixth-round pick Devin Neal is nothing if not reliable, and the Saints could understandably find stability attractive after investing so much fruitless patience in Miller the last two years. Miller is still only 23 and might have some amount of untapped upside despite his injury issues, but if he doesn't put it all together soon a guy like Neal can take Miller's spot. Read Past Outlooks
