Description
Roy Miller, a star defensive lineman at Texas from 2005 to 2008 who went on to play nine years in the NFL, joins The Flagship Podcast this week to talk about what it takes to play as a young D-lineman in college, his favorite memories at Texas and the NFL as well as his advice to this year's Longhorns.
Miller, a Killeen Shoemaker product and five-star recruit, played as a freshman on UT's 2005 national title team despite having Rod Wright, Frank Okam and Larry Dibbles ahead of him on the depth chart.
Miller offers up advice for young defensive linemen on the Longhorns' roster right now about how to get on the field right away (Hint: Get into the best shape of your lives).
Miller talks about what he wants to see from Texas this season under first-year coach Steve Sarkisian.
In a trip down memory lane, Miller talks about rooming with former Texas running back Jamaal Charles for three years and the night they loaded up on double cheeseburgers at McDonald's and the decision to put most of them in the fridge and try to eat them over time.
Miller talks about his memorable first practice with Will Muschamp as defensive coordinator in 2008 and the way players like Miller, Lamarr Houston, Henry Melton and Brian Orakpo pushed each other.
Miller recalls those he remembers most from his 2005 UT recruiting class, including a memorable battle in practice with offensive lineman Charlie Tanner.
Miller talks about why his hometown of Killeen has produced a long line of notable football players, including Texas newcomer Ray Thornton, who is vying to replace Joseph Ossai.
Miller talked about trying to stand out in the Big 12 at a time when Ndamukong Suh was playing defensive tackle in the Big 12 at Nebraska.
Miller was a third-round NFL Draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and spent half of his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars (Miller still lives in Jacksonville). He talks about the best players he faced in the NFL and the first time he sacked Tom Brady and more.
