Patriots Draft RB Jamarion Miller in Round 7
The New England Patriots selected Alabama RB Jamarion Miller in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Despite leading Alabama in rushing each of the past two seasons, he averaged just 48.8 yards per game in that span. Efficiency never spiked either, with 4.6 yards per carry as a junior and 3.9 as a senior. That’s underwhelming output for a top-5 RB recruit in the 2022 class, per 247Sports. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Miller ranked ninth in 2025 rushing market share (44.1%), and 19th in yards after contact per attempt (2.45). He ranked 16th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.17) and 14th in receiving yards per route run (0.75). He will turn 22 years old next week.
