The New England Patriots began the 2026 offseason with multiple needs after a Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Running back was a pressing priority after Antonio Gibson was cut. The team did not add a running back until the seventh round of the draft, selecting Alabama running back Jam Miller. Miller is listed at 5'9 1/4" and 209 pounds and is expected to compete for a role behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. He will also face competition from undrafted free agents and other backs, including Lan Larison and Myles Montgomery. His 2025 production included 504 rushing yards, 3.9 yards per carry, three touchdowns, and 19 receptions for 109 yards. His confidence and camp performance are key to earning a spot on the 53-man roster or practice squad.
"The 5'9 1/4", 209-pound Miller is a power-packed back who'll be seeking to take the third running back position vacated by Gibson. He'll have competition to back up Rhamondre Stevenson and Treveyon Henderson from undrafted free agents (UDFAs), 2025's Lan Larison, who missed last season with an injury, and 2026's Myles Montgomery from UCF. Both will be stiff competition, but he seems to be up for the challenge."
"In 2025, he gained just 504 yards with a 3.9-yard average with three touchdowns. He also had 19 receptions for another 109 yards. Those aren't eye-opening stats, and Miller will have to rely on that confidence factor and a great camp to stick on the 53-man roster or practice squad."
""The Alabama running back was taken with the 245th overall selection in the seventh round of this year's draft, and joins a room that already has Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson in it. While Miller might not project to be a workhorse in New England this season, he has the opportunity to carve out a niche on the offense. A lot of that comes from his determination to make it work in whatever he's asked to""
