Dante Miller

Dante Davon Miller (born May 14, 1999) is an American professional football running back. He previously played for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Columbia Lions and South Carolina Gamecocks.

Early life Miller played four years of varsity football for Richmond Senior High while also competing in basketball, swimming, and track and field. During that time he saw action at running back, wide receiver and defensive back, was a two-time all-conference selection, and was named team captain as a senior. In December 2017, Miller committed to play college football at James Madison over offers from Gardner-Webb, Wofford, Navy, and several other Division I schools. On January 12, 2018, he flipped his commitment to Columbia and signed his letter of intent on February 7, 2018.

South Carolina Miller entered as a preferred walk-on graduate transfer and appeared in each of the first six games of the season. In actuality, he had two years to play one season, not two full years of eligibility. Because of Miller's eligibility issues, he was also not eligible for the 2024 NFL draft and instead should have been in the 2023 NFL draft, leading to him becoming a free agent.
