No matter what he goes on to accomplish in the NFL, Scotty Miller will always be known as the co-author of one of the most important and shocking touchdowns in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history.
His 39-yard, Hail Mary-esque score at the very end of the first half of the NFC Championship game will also be remembered for the Packers’ dreadful defense on that play, but without that confluence of events, Tampa Bay may very well not be playing in Super Bowl 55 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Miller often gets compared by broadcasters to the likes of Julian Edelman and/or Wes Welker now that he is playing with Tom Brady. That is one of the lazier player comps in football; it’s being presented only because Miller is an undersized and white wide receiver. But unlike those other two, Miller is a legitimate deep threat. He is averaging 15.2 yards per catch, and three of his four touchdowns this season have come from at least 30 yards out.
Antonio Brown didn’t play against Green Bay because of a knee injury. If he remains out or limited for the Super Bowl, Miller will definitely see more looks down the field.
