Summary

The New England Patriots selected running back Jam Miller in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Other candidates for the third running back spot include Terrell Jennings and Myles Montgomery. Alex Barth from 98.5 The Sports Hub suggested that Larison is favored for the role, leaving Miller with a challenging path ahead in training camp and preseason. Although Miller might not secure a spot on the active roster, he could join the practice squad if needed due to injuries.
