The Saints move on from Kendre Miller right now
By: Jake Rajala
It’s official: the New Orleans Saints moved on from Kendre Mller. He is in his fourth season. Things haven’t been the greatest for the running back.
Miller was a third round pick. Do you want to know who else was a third round pick at the running back spot? It would be none other than Alvin Kamara. Interestingly, Miller’s career total rushing yardage is 656. Well, Kamara registered 657 total yardage in 11 games in 2025.
Let it even be known that “undrafted” RB Pierre Thomas has even had six seasons of at least 600+ total yards.
Miller came from none other than TCU. TCU showcased LaDainian Tomlinson, as he was drafted fifth overall in the 2001 draft. He can make up for the lack of a prominent career by Miller.
Miller hasn’t exactly had a sexy season in 2026. He is ranked 45th out of 45th running backs by PFF. To be fair, the Saints RB room has been the walking dead. Miller has averaged 2.9 YPC, Kamara has averaged 3.0 YPC, and Audric Estime has averaged 2.1 YPC.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Saints brought in a quality running back. After all, it’s tiresome to see Tyler Shough try do play-action with a running game that averages 2.0 YPC.
We could also see Taysom Hill make a return. We witnessed Derrick Henry play wildcat a lot in the last Monday Night Football showdown. We’ve seen Hill play a lot of wildcat in his career. Hill can squat as much as Saquon Barkley and run faster than the average 40 time (4.59). My biggest concern with Hill is that he’s 36 years old. That’s 10 years older than Chris Olave.
