HENDERSON, Nev. – The Las Vegas Raiders have signed T Kolton Miller to a contract extension, the club announced Wednesday.
The 6-foot-8, 325-pound tackle joined the Silver and Black as the team's first pick (15th overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft and since then has played in 109 games and started in 107 for the Raiders. His 107 starts since 2018 are the 10th most in the NFL among offensive linemen over that span – the fifth most among tackles.
One of the most disciplined offensive linemen in the NFL, since entering the league in 2018, Miller averages just 0.28 penalties per game, the second lowest mark among tackles (min. 100 games played).
The veteran anchor of the Silver and Black's offensive line was the only member of the line to start in all 17 games in 2024. In 664 pass blocking snaps last season, Miller allowed a quarterback pressure on 9.8% of his snaps, the ninth-lowest mark among tackles in the NFL with at least 600 pass blocking snaps.
In 2023, his sixth NFL season, Miller played in 13 games (11 starts), missing time due to injury, but was part of an offensive line that allowed just 40 sacks, tied for the 12th fewest I the NFL.
Miller started in 16 games in 2022 and helped pave the way for 2,059 rushing yards by the Raiders, the most in a single season since 2011, and was part of an offensive line that only allowed 35 sacks, tied for the ninth fewest in the NFL.
In 2021, Miller started in all 17 regular season games and the AFC Wild Card Game as part of an offensive line that helped the Silver and Black rank 11th in the NFL with 363.8 yards per game and paved the way for 268.6 passing yards per game, which ranked sixth in the NFL. Miller also allowed a pressure on only 6.6% of his snaps, the sixth best mark among tackles in the NFL (min. 500 snaps).
Miller started in 14 games during the 2020 campaign, helping the Raiders rank eighth in the NFL in total offense, averaging 383.3 yards per game, while finishing 10th in the league in fewest sacks allowed (28).
A native of Roseville, Calif., Miller started all 32 games over his first two seasons (2018-19) in the NFL. He helped anchor an offensive line that ranked eighth in the NFL in sacks allowed (29) in 2019. As a rookie in 2018, Miller started in all 16 contests to become one of just 16 Raiders rookies to start every game since the AFL-NFL merger.
Miller played three seasons at UCLA, appearing in 31 games (23 starts). As a junior, Miller started all 13 games at left tackle for the Bruins and was named to the All-Pac-12 Conference Second Team by the league's coaches. He was a cornerstone for an offensive line that helped the Bruins rank third in the conference in total offense (379.8 yards per game) in 2017.
