Brit Miller joins J Leman with Carolina

Miller and his agent, Chicago-based Ken Sarnoff, worked out a free agent contract that will put him on the pre-season roster of the Carolina Panthers, ironically joining fellow former Illini middle linebacker J Leman, who signed with Carolina in January.

For Miller, it was a happy enough end to an anxious weekend.

"It's not all about being drafted," said Miller. "It's about getting an opportunity to play pro ball and hopefully that will happen for me next season.
