Alabama running back Jam Miller selected in 2026 NFL draft

Alabama running back Jam Miller has been drafted by the New England Patriots.

Miller is an extremely talented running back despite struggling in the Tide’s backfield last season. The former Crimson Tide back was selected with the No. 245 overall pick in the seventh round on Saturday, as Miller will look to fight his way towards a roster spot throughout training camp this summer.

Miller recorded 504 yards and three touchdowns during his fourth and final season in Tuscaloosa last year, as the former Alabama star will look to shine throughout his career in New England.

Miller was widely regarded as one of the top overall players available on the board prior to the Patriots drafting him. The running back has elite speed and athleticism given his size, and Miller could potentially emerge as New England’s third string running back in 2026.

Alabama has seen a plethora of talent selected during the NFL draft in Pittsburgh this weekend, as Miller will officially find himself in New England for his rookie campaign next season.
