Same size as Odell...5-11
Not many small WR's make it and O'dell is a freak of nature....he'll get a shot....never know.
Plenty of small receivers make it these days. If you can get open and catch the ball NFL teams will give you a chance
Sub 6 foot wr's aren't in high demand. Sure some play the slot, but not many lining up outside.
Antonio Brown, TY Hilton, Odell Beckham, Stefon Diggs, Brandin Cooks, Mike Wallace, Emmanuel Sanders, Jarvis Landry, Doug Baldwin, Jamison Crowder . . .
There are plenty. He could make it. Guys like Julio Jones, AJ Green, Mike Evans, Demaryius Thomas are more of the premium outliers than the norm.

That's true. But two of the best WRs right now in Brown and Odell are sub 6 foot. With Miller's work ethic he might get a shot.
Odell was a 1st round pick. AB is the exception....I wish Miller the best, just saying. There have been tons of small WR's that dominated at the college level, that never sniffed an NFL roster.
AB is not the exception.
As Timmy points out, there are others : TY Hilton, Stefon Diggs, Brandin Cooks, Mike Wallace, Emmanuel Sanders, Jarvis Landry, Doug Baldwin, Jamison Crowder, etc.
Heck even a gadget player like Tavon Austin got paid this summer.
It's not as impossible as some folks are making it out to be. Is it difficult? YES
But being a pro is never easy. Work ethic and talent will eventually stand out.

Yeah I guess that was my overall point too. Being an NFL player is just insanely hard and unlikely in general, most guys obviously don't make it. I just don't think his height or size will be the deciding factor when there are so many other examples of guys his size making it.

I haven't started looking at mock drafts yet.
You must be a Browns fan.
