The football legend who carved his own path from a humble sixth-round pick to gridiron supremacy now sees promise in another sixth-rounder. Tom Brady, a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, has high expectations for the new quarterback in the Raiders' fold, Cam Miller.
Brady's influence reached into the Raiders' draft room, as he maintained a steady line of communication with General Manager John Spytek during the draft process. His thumbs-up for selecting Miller in the sixth round echoes his own history, having been drafted in the same round back in 2000 by the New England Patriots.
According to Spytek, Brady was impressed with Miller's mechanics and potential. “He liked the way he threw it, his technique, throwing from the ground up and his motion,” said Spytek. “And he thought he had the potential to improve.”
Miller's college career was nothing short of stellar. As a starter at North Dakota State, he boasted an impressive record of 45-11, securing two FCS national championships along the way. It's little wonder that Brady, a consummate winner himself, sees qualities in Miller that could translate to success at the professional level.
The future looks bright for both Miller and the Raiders, with Brady's endorsement serving as a strong vote of confidence. The Raiders and their fans will be keenly watching how the young quarterback develops, hopeful that he might follow in the footsteps of his now legendary minority owner.
