Miller could have the opportunity to compete for the Miami Dolphins' starting quarterback job, with the future of former starter Tua Tagovailoa very much in question heading into the offseason. However, ahead of him on the depth chart is rookie Quinn Ewers, who played well in games following Tagovailoa's benching, and former second overall draft pick Zach Wilson.
