While punter for Ole Miss football from 1976-79, Miller would make the All-SEC team 3 seasons. His junior and senior seasons (1978-79) it would mean 1st team honors. Miller also claimed All-American honors in 1979.

Miller was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers, where he played two seasons and helped the Niners win Super Bowl XVI. Miller would play 7 seasons in the NFL and see rosters with the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants.
