Philadelphia Eagles waive former Buckeye do-it-all QB
Published:
Braxton Miller was an absolute stud at Ohio State.
During his time as a Buckeye from 2011-15, Miller threw for 5,295 yards, 52 TD and 17 INT. But, that’s not all. He also ran for another 3,315 yards and 33 TD. And, that’s also not all.
He also caught 25 passes for 340 yards and 3 TD during his senior campaign. Miller could truly do-it-all for the Buckeyes and the team got plenty of wins thanks to him.
At the next level, Miller has tried to make it as a wide receiver. Last season, Miller spent the entire year with the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad. On Saturday, it was announced that Miller got waived when the Eagles signed veteran QB Josh McCown.
The #Eagles signing of QB Josh McCown is official and to make room on the roster, Philly waived WR Braxton Miller.

The move isn’t a surprise from an Eagles perspective, as the team needed to sign a QB due to injuries to Nate Sudfeld and Cody Kessler.

Miller, since being waived, still has time to make a team as multiple NFL preseason games remain for teams. It is likely that he will try and find a spot at the WR position on a team needing pass-catchers.
