Hard Work Paid Off for Dante Miller

Joseph Griffin | Apr 5, 2024

Former South Carolina Gamecock running back Dante "Turbo" Miller has inked a deal with the New York Giants, making a dynamic entry into the NFL. Despite facing eligibility challenges that sidelined him last season, Miller turned heads at South Carolina's Pro Day with his incredible athletic performance. He scorched the turf with a 40-yard dash time of 4.27 seconds, showcasing elite speed that immediately grabbed the attention of pro scouts.

Miller's physical prowess didn't stop at his sprinting capabilities. He demonstrated remarkable strength by bench pressing 225 pounds for an impressive 28 reps and leaped to a 37.5-inch vertical, solidifying his status as a top-tier athletic prospect. His relentless work ethic during his time away from competitive play paid off, as he maintained peak conditions and continued to hone his skills.

His speed and athleticism could be a game-changing addition to the team's arsenal as they look to make an impact in the upcoming season. Miller's journey from the Gamecocks' sidelines to the NFL's bright lights is a testament to his determination and potential for greatness in the professional ranks.
