Ryan Miller

Wide Receiver · Furman

A three-time FCS All-American at Furman, Miller has carved out an NFL role as a reliable special-teams gunner more than a featured receiver.

Ryan Miller is a wide receiver for the New York Giants who built his path to the NFL on special teams grit rather than gaudy receiving numbers. Undrafted out of Furman in 2023, he has bounced between practice squads and active rosters while making his mark covering kicks and punts.

★ Three-time AP FCS All-American at Furman

★ 14 career special-teams tackles

★ Signed by two NFL franchises after going undrafted in 2023

Path to the league

Miller starred at Furman, where he was a three-time AP FCS All-American, before going unselected in the 2023 NFL Draft. Tampa Bay signed him as an undrafted free agent, and he spent time developing on the Buccaneers' roster before eventually being claimed off waivers by the Giants.

Career highlights

Across his first NFL seasons, Miller has posted modest receiving totals of 14 catches for 162 yards and three touchdowns, but his real value has come on coverage units, where he has racked up 14 special-teams tackles. That combination of route-running upside and core-special-teams reliability has kept him on NFL rosters.

2025 season recap

Miller played in 13 games for the Giants in 2025, mostly contributing as a depth receiver and special-teamer. He finished the season with just 2 catches for 34 yards on 4 targets, underscoring that his roster spot remains tied more to special teams than to offensive production.
