With or without a prescription, I could not help but root for a fellow Columbia Lion.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Former Columbia football running back Dante Miller '22CC agreed to terms with the New York Giants, pending a physical, the team announced Friday. Miller becomes the first Lion to ink an NFL deal since punter Cameron Nizialek '17CC signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022.
A first-team All-Ivy League selection in 2021, Miller rushed for 1,281 yards on 258 carries with six touchdowns, including a career-long run of 83 yards (sixth-longest rush in school history) during his stint with Columbia. Upon graduation, he ranked ninth in career rushing yards (1,281), fourth in yards per carry (5.0), and seventh in rushing yards per game (49.3) in Columbia history.
After exhausting his Ivy League eligibility, the native of Rockingham, North Carolina, joined the University of South Carolina as a graduate transfer. Miller saw action in in six games, rushing for 38 yards on six carries and contributing on special teams.
Miller turned heads at South Carolina's pro day, running the 40-yard dash in 4.27 seconds to garner the attention of NFL scouts. Due to NCAA Compliance and NFL rules, he was ruled ineligible for the NFL Draft and allowed to sign with a team as a free agent.
Cheers!

Masters degree Colunbia University, fastest time South Carolina Pro Day 4.27, squats 700 Lbs and had the most reps of any RB with the barbell.....not your average RB. Five foot 5, 200 lbs
