Broncos eye true difference-maker who could be exactly what the team needs to finally get over the hump
The Denver Broncos are one of the most complete teams in football. With the NFL Draft rapidly approaching, Denver hosted a top-30 visit with Georgia defensive tackle Christian Miller. If he were to fall to Denver, he would be an immediate difference-maker on the defense.
The Denver Broncos are doing their due diligence and leaving no stone unturned. With the NFL Draft rapidly approaching, Denver has hosted a handful of visits already.
Denver has one of the most complete rosters in all of football, but it can always get better. That’s what the draft is for, fleshing out the remaining holes on the roster. That, and building for the future, which looks bright in Denver.
The Broncos are coming off a season where they were a healthy quarterback, Bo Nix, away from going to the Super Bowl. The team is looking to build on the success they saw last season, and it starts with the NFL Draft.
It’s been reported that the Broncos hosted a top-30 visit with Georgia standout defensive tackle Christian Miller. He was a two-year starter and is widely considered a top 50 prospect.
The 6-foot-4, 321-pound monster is one of the best defensive tackles in the class.
Denver Broncos are a long shot to land Christian Miller after trading for Jaylen Waddle
Denver will have to hold out hope as they have the No. 62 pick in the upcoming draft. They traded away their first-round selection to the Miami Dolphins for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.
Miller spent four seasons with the Georgia Bulldogs, playing in 43 games with 31 solo tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, and one pass defensed.
He was a first-team All-SEC in 2025. During that time, he had 23 tackles, four tackles for loss, and one and a half sacks in 14 games started,
As Matt Lane reported, he is a stout nose tackle with “great hip sink and leverage when taking on double teams. Consistent hand placement and strength to extend and allow quick disengagement.”
Miller would be a beast with the Denver Broncos if they selected him at No. 62
Ryan Roberts from A to Z Sports broke down what makes Miller so special. Broncos Country is going to be pounding the table for Denver to take him in the upcoming draft.
“Miller was a former four-star recruit in the 2022 class who had to wait his turn as a part of a deep Georgia defensive line room. Over the last two seasons, we have seen Miller get better and better with more playing time. He is a very physical defender who excels at the point of attack. His hand violence and lower body power allow Miller to stack blockers well in order to two-gap and anchor on the inside.
“Despite his modest tackle for loss and sack production during his college career, there is still some upside for Miller to become a disruptive penetrator. The Georgia system doesn’t ask defensive tackles to create a ton of plays in the backfield. If Miller is able to round out his game, he has plus starter upside on the NFL level.” – Ryan Roberts
If Miller somehow falls into Denver’s lap at No. 62, it would feel like a steal for a team that’s already knocking on the door. Even if the odds are slim, the visit makes it clear the Broncos are thinking big up front.
And if the board breaks just right, they could walk away from this draft with a difference-maker who helps push them over the top.
