Scotty Miller Opens Up on His Role For the Buccaneers en Route Super Bowl LV

Scotty Miller was drafted by Bruce Arians-coached Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019. He was a sixth-round pick (208th overall) at the 2019 NFL Draft. The Bucs used the pick acquired from the DeSean Jackson to Philadelphia Eagles trade deal to bring in Miller two years ago.
Miller was clocked at an official 4.39 40-yard dash at his Pro Day. But with the presence of in-form duo Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in Tampa Bay, Scotty knew he would have to work his way up the wide receiver depth chart in order to get an extended run with the first team.
That’s exactly what he did this season as the Buccaneers were crowned Super Bowl LV champions on February 7, 2021.

“Yeah, I’m just super thankful for the opportunities I got and uh when I did get em I started to take advantage of every one. But I knew, the type of offense we run, would be a system, there’s tons of opportunities for everyone.”
