A two-time national champion offensive lineman out of North Dakota State's FCS dynasty who is fighting for a roster spot on the interior line.
Mason Miller is a 6-foot-7, 310-pound offensive lineman who anchored North Dakota State's line during two national championship runs before signing with the Lions as an undrafted free agent. He has shown position flexibility, working at both tackle and guard during his rookie training camp.
Path to the league
Miller played five seasons at North Dakota State (2020-2024), starting 42 of his 61 career games at both right tackle and left guard. He capped his college career as an All-American and first-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection at right tackle, helping the Bison win a national title with a 35-32 win over Montana State.
Career highlights
Miller leaves NDSU as a two-time national champion and one of the program's most experienced offensive linemen of his era. His size and versatility across the line made him an appealing undrafted signing for Detroit, which also employs former NDSU offensive coordinator Tyler Roehl on its coaching staff.
2025 season recap
Miller signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 draft and saw extensive preseason snaps, averaging around 30 per game across four exhibition contests, working at right tackle in the first two and right guard in the final two. He was among Detroit's roster cuts in late August but was signed to the practice squad, where he spent his rookie season developing.
