Lamar Miller was an All-ACC player at the University of Miami and a local of the region. In 2012, he joined the Miami Dolphins, the team that drafted him, without having to travel much.

Miller spent his first four seasons with the Dolphins, gradually climbing up the depth chart. In the year 2014, he had a breakout performance with 1,099 yards and 8 touchdowns, both of which were career highs. In 2016, Miller signed with the Houston Texans and had another impressive 1,000-plus yard year (1,073) and was selected for the Pro Bowl in 2018.

Unfortunately, Miller suffered an ACL injury during the pre-season of 2019, which resulted in him missing the entire year. He signed with the New England Patriots the following year but did not play any game and was subsequently released. He played only one game with the Chicago team, which turned out to be his final game. Although he attempted comebacks with Washington and New Orleans, they were unsuccessful.

Miller retired with a total of 40 touchdowns and 7,435 yards from scrimmage.
