Miller attended University of Oregon[1] where he played quarterback for the Oregon Ducks football team.[2] He was considered a risky recruit for higher ranked college teams due to concerns about a knee injury he suffered in high school.[3]

Professional athlete
Miller played in 10 NFL seasons from 1987 to 1995 and 1999. His best year as a pro came during the 1991 season for the Falcons when he threw for over 3,000 yards and 26 touchdowns.
Concussions prevented him from playing longer. After he suffered five in a span of 14 months, he left the league for the first time.[4] A concussion during his comeback with the Denver Broncos in 1999 convinced him that it was best to retire for good.[5] He was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 2005.
Before the 2019 season, Miller announced he would depart West Linn at year's end to join the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL as offensive coordinator.[8]
In May 2020, he was named head coach of Franklin High School in Portland, Oregon.[9] He never coached a game for the Lightning, however, as his former position at West Linn opened up a few weeks later and Miller returned to the Lions on July 8, 2020.[10]
