An undrafted cornerback who bet on himself with a graduate transfer from Penn State to Rutgers and turned it into an NFL shot.
Cam Miller joined the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2026 after a winding college path that took him from Penn State to a breakout final season at Rutgers. At 6-foot, 192 pounds, he is fighting for a roster spot in a crowded Panthers secondary, leaning on the ball skills and instincts that made him a productive corner in the Big Ten.
Path to the league
A four-star recruit out of Trinity Christian Academy in Deltona, Florida, Miller signed with Penn State and spent four seasons there before transferring to Rutgers for his final year of eligibility. He went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft and signed with Carolina shortly after as a free agent.
Career highlights
Across stops at Penn State and Rutgers, Miller totaled 103 tackles, 10.5 for loss, five sacks, 14 pass breakups and two interceptions in 52 games, with 17 starts. He was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree and ran a 4.53-second 40-yard dash with a 40.5-inch vertical at his pro day.
2025 season recap
In his lone season at Rutgers, Miller started every game and finished with 47 tackles, 2.5 for loss, a sack, six pass deflections, an interception and a touchdown, a career-best statistical year that helped him land his NFL opportunity.
