With the 42nd pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints select Christen Miller, Georgia defensive tackle.
Miller spent all four years in college in Athens, is 6′ 3 3/4″ tall, and weighs 321 lbs. His other measurements include 33″ arms and 10″ hands. The former Bulldog is known as a run-stuffing interior defensive lineman. He didn’t see much action in his freshman year, but received a steady increase in playing time in the following seasons.
In 2023, Miller played in 13 games, recording 14 tackles and a sack, and four tackles for loss, including one in the SEC Championship against Alabama. In the next two seasons, the redshirt junior became a more consistent piece on defense, starting in 24 out of his final 26 college games.
Between 2024 and 2025, Miller racked up 50 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, and a pass breakup. He was also named to the AP First Team All-SEC. Going into last season, Miller was named preseason All-SEC First Team by the SEC Media and the SEC Coaches, picked to the preseason All-SEC Second Team by Athlon and Pick Six Previews, and named to the preseason watch list for the Outland Trophy, the Bednarik Award, and the Senior Bowl Top 300.
