The Green Bay Packers are among several teams that will host Georgia defensive lineman Christen Miller — a potential target at No. 52 overall in the second round — on an official visit before the 2026 NFL draft, per NFL reporter Aaron Wilson.
Miller has already visited the Las Vegas Raiders and Houston Texans, and he will also visit the New York Giants, Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers — giving him a busy schedule before the draft.
Miller, a redshirt junior entrant and a first-time starter for the Bulldogs in 2025, ranks as the No. 46 overall player on the consensus big board. Given the need at defensive tackle, the player’s talent and his likely profile as a second-round pick, Miller must be considered a top option for the Packers on Day 2 of the draft.
Per PFF, Miller produced 19 pressures during each of the last two seasons, plus 31 combined stops. He graded out highly as a run defender and eventually earned an elite 90.2 grade against the run during the 2025 season.
Miller, who stands 6-4 and weighs 321 pounds, played across the defensive line at Georgia but is likely capable of handling nose tackle duties at the next level — making him an ideal prospect for the Packers.
Miller’s lack of athletic testing from the combine and pro day might be a reason for all of his scheduled visits. Without an athletic profile, teams will want to know more about the player ahead of the draft. Visits are often a box-checking exercise for teams, and Miller has a fairly important box left unchecked with the draft just weeks away.
From Lance Zierlein’s scouting report on NFL.com: “Miller is an even-front nose tackle who can rattle pads and gain early advantages at the point of attack. He has good stack-and-shed against single blocks but lacks the prototypical mass of a space-eater. He will lose his anchor to double teams and strong angle blocks at times. He’s average at matching lateral movement off the snap but is generally aware of play design and hustles across gaps to squeeze run lanes. He’ll continue to bulk up and should become a good starter who is more consistent than dominant along the interior.”
