DET Blake Miller
NFL player. Position: OT. Team: DET (Detroit Lions).
Quick Facts
- Position: OT
- Team: DET (Detroit Lions)
- Draft: 2026 NFL Draft, 1st round (No. 17 overall)
2026 Outlook
Drafted 17th overall by the Detroit Lions to help address a rushing-game decline and stabilize the offensive line. A hard-nosed blocker who should immediately thrive in the Lions' outside-zone scheme. Fills a gap left by the departure of David Montgomery and is being asked to unlock more production from Jahmyr Gibbs. The Lions' offense didn't feel like themselves last season after leading the league in rushing the prior year, and Miller is expected to be a key part of recapturing that identity.

Injury Status
Healthy.
