The New York Jets set out to reshape their quarterback room this offseason. The departure of Aaron Rodgers left a void on the Jets' quarterback depth chart that the team quickly filled with Justin Fields in free agency.
Now, the Jets could turn to the 2025 NFL Draft as they continue to add to the position group. The Jets have been connected to a few high-profile quarterbacks in the lead-up to the draft, including projected first-rounders such as Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart.
But if the Jets are going to add a quarterback in this year's draft, the most likely scenario would see the team target the position on Day 2 or 3 of the event. The Jets have met with a few notable mid-round quarterback prospects, but their latest apparent target is flying a bit under the radar.
Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda reported last week that the Jets are set to host North Dakota State quarterback Cam Miller on a top-30 visit. Miller wasn't really on the radar of many draft analysts until recently but has seen his stock climb steadily.
NY Jets eyeing North Dakota State quarterback Cam Miller in 2025 NFL Draft
It isn't difficult to figure out why Miller has been overlooked. At just 5-foot-10, 195 pounds, Miller is one of the smallest quarterback prospects in this year's draft. His height falls in the 20th percentile of draft-eligible quarterbacks, while his weight isn't much better in the 32nd percentile.
Where Miller shines, however, is with his football IQ, experience, and dual-threat ability. The Iowa native started four seasons at North Dakota State, breaking out as one of the best quarterbacks at the FCS level in 2024.
Miller led his school to a 14-2 overall record and an FCS national championship, completing 73.5% of his passes for 3,251 yards, 33 touchdowns, and four interceptions. He also added 631 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground.
Per Pauline, Miller impressed scouts at his pro day last week, completing all 49 of his pass attempts and solidifying himself as a Day 3 pick in the process. One scout “lauded Miller’s accuracy and ball placement as well as his touch and noted the arm strength was better than advertised.”
The Jets reportedly met with Miami's Cam Ward, Texas' Quinn Ewers, and Syracuse's Kyle McCord at the NFL Combine, but Miller is the first known QB prospect the Jets are hosting on a top-30 visit. The Jets notably brought in Jordan Travis for a top-30 visit last year before ultimately selecting him in the fifth round.
Will history repeat itself with Miller in this year's draft? He's certainly a name to keep an eye on as we draw closer to the end of April.
