Dante Miller brings ‘Turbo’ abilities, unusual rookie status in quest to impress Giants
NY Post
When he introduces himself to his new teammates, Dante Miller always lists three distinct parts of his personal journey.
He is from what he describes as a “small town’’ — Rockingham, N.C. He went to Columbia for four years. He then played, briefly, at South Carolina. It is after he recounts his college résumé that the inevitable reactions emerge.
“You tell them about Columbia, and they automatically assume you’re super-smart and these different type of things,’’ Miller told The Post recently, “and then you say ‘South Carolina’ and they go, ‘Oh.’’ So you get the best of both worlds when it comes to that.’’
There is little about Miller that is typical.
He is a rookie, but not the usual rookie, in that he is 24 years old.
