Giants sign speedy running back Dante Miller after NCAA eligibility debacle
NY Post
Dante Miller is either one year late or a few weeks early in joining the NFL.
The Giants agreed to terms Friday with the speedy rookie running back whose chance at getting drafted was robbed by an NCAA eligibility error during his time transferring from Ivy League standout at Columbia to South Carolina.
Miller sat out all last season but hung around the Gamecocks program after it was determined that he mistakenly burned his final year of eligibility playing sparingly in 2022, as detailed Friday by On3.com.
The slow-moving NCAA did not declare Miller ineligible until long after the deadline to enter the 2023 NFL Draft – after he competed with South Carolina in spring practice.
The technicalities continued: Because Miller should’ve been in the 2023 draft, he is not eligible in 2024, which means he has been an unknowing NFL free agent for about one year.
The issue reportedly stemmed from South Carolina thinking he had two years of eligibility after one of his Ivy League seasons was canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic, but he really had two years to compete once (and redshirt once).
