Matt Miller has been following the NFL Draft for years, but like a lot of online writers, had trouble finding an audience. Today, he's one of the leading prospectors of the NFL draft, and a fellow lead writer of Zerkle's at Bleacher Report. Miller discussed his start in football scouting and who he's watching for the 2012 draft. And Miller deserves enormous credit for stepping into the dojo and playing "Draft Pick...or Registered Sex Offender?" against the HOUSE OF PUNTE crew.
