On April 5, the New York Giants signed 5-foot-9 running back Dante Miller, also known as “Turbo Miller” on X, in an intriguing move.
The cause? Quickness.
Miller, as his nickname implies, is incredibly quick; during the South Carolina pro day in March, he completed a 40-yard dash in 4.27 seconds. Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com said that the Giants “took notice” of this 40 time after his signing was revealed. However, he misquoted it as 4.35 seconds until the young player corrected him.
4.27,” Miller retorted; the updated time has subsequently been verified.
Needless to say, Stapleton had no harsh feelings. He responded, “I stand corrected,” and included the dust cloud emoji, which is commonly used to indicate speed.
For the record, Isaac Guerendo of Louisville ran the quickest RB 40 time (4.33 seconds) at the 2024 NFL combine.
Giants’ new running back Due to an eligibility error, Dante Miller was unable to play football in 2023.
Since “an honest mistake and an inflexible bureaucracy” robbed him of that opportunity, Miller has been sidelined for the past year, according to On 3 reporter Andy Staples, who published a piece on the ball carrier the day he joined.
Miller was taken off the field in 2022 and wasn’t allowed to return until South Carolina’s pro day last month, according to Staples, who blamed the NCAA’s draconian interpretation of justice and an error in computation by the compliance department of South Carolina.
