FILE -- In this Dec. 30, 2017, file photo, Memphis wide receiver Anthony Miller (3) pushes past Iowa State linebacker Joel Lanning (7) to score a touchdown in the Liberty Bowl NCAA college football game in Memphis, Tenn. Miller is trying really hard to follow the advice given to him at the NFL combine. Just slow down, just enough to stay focused and avoid making a mistake simply because the wide receiver is moving too fast. That's easier said than done for the man who had no offers from any FBS college school coming out of high school who chose to walk on at Memphis. Miller is in a hurry to prove he's the best wide receiver available in the 2018 NFL draft. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey, File)
