Could speedster Dante “Turbo” Miller carve out a place on the Giants’ 53-man roster?
after his mother abandoned him, Miller was raised by his mother's first cousin, Antoinette Flowers, who provided him with the structure and guidance to help him achieve his dream of playing football.
Enter Columbia University, where Miller rushed for 1,281 yards on 258 carries and recorded six touchdowns. His career-long run of 83 yards put him in the school’s record books for having the sixth-longest rush in school history. He then transferred to South Carolina as a walk-on graduate transfer, a move that would see him embark on a crazy and frustrating odyssey to the next step: the NFL draft. But Miller, who has always shown resolve when the chips were stacked against him, wasn’t about to be denied.Thanks to a misunderstanding regarding his eligibility, Miller’s last action came in 2022, when he played six games for the Gamecocks and had six rushing attempts for 38 yards.
The miscommunication also affected Miller’s eligibility for the draft. Whereas he was eligible for the 2023 draft, he was ruled ineligible for the 2024 draft. As a result, Miller became an unrestricted free agent who chose to sign with the Giants in early April, enabling him to get a headstart on learning the team’s playbook.Miller signed a three-year, $2.83 million contract with no signing bonus or guaranteed money. His 2024 cap hit is $795,000, which is 0.
