Braxton Miller was known as one of the top college quarterbacks just a few years ago. He now enters the 2016 NFL Draft as one of the top receiving prospects.

Miller is 6-foot-2 and had a great season at Ohio State as a receiving and rushing threat. He ran for 260 yards and a touchdown, while also hauling in 26 receptions for 341 yards and three touchdowns.

He is not someone the Browns would take with the second overall pick, but he would be a realistic option with the 32nd pick, given he is still available.

His size already makes him an attractive option, as the rest of the Browns receivers hover around or below 6 feet tall. He can also be used as a flex option, being effective as both a runner and a receiver.

If the team takes a quarterback in the first round, taking Miller in the second round would allow both players to begin their NFL careers together and develop great chemistry. This was seen in Jacksonville where Blake Bortles and Allen Robinson have become one of the top duos in the league.

He would also fit in well with a returning Josh Gordon, giving the team a firm second option at the receiver position.

The only question on Miller is his lack of experience at the position, but he seems to be more natural as a receiver than another former Ohio State quarterback who played with the Browns this season.

Taking Miller with a second-round pick and pairing him with a rookie quarterback would be a smart move by the Browns.
