Jamir Malik Miller (born November 19, 1973 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a former professional American football linebacker.
[edit] Pro career
Miller played 8 years in the NFL for the Arizona Cardinals and Cleveland Browns from 1994 to 2001.
Miller retired from the Cleveland Browns following the 2001 season after suffering a season ending injury, a ruptured Achilles Tendon. Up until 2007 he was the only Browns player to be selected to the Pro Bowl since the team re-entered the NFL in 1999. In 2007 six Browns players were nominated to the 2008 Pro Bowl.
Miller was one of four linebackers selected to the Associated Press All-Pro team in 2001. (The other 3 were Jason Gildon, Brian Urlacher, and Ray Lewis.)
Miller was carted off the field after tearing his right Achilles tendon in a 27-15 preseason victory over the Minnesota Vikings to start the 2002 pre-season. He was placed on injured reserve August 13, 2002, but the severity of his injury led to him being waived on February 22, 2003, the end of the 2002 campaign.
