WINNIPEG — It didn’t take long for special teams tackler Mike Miller to find a new home.
After being released by the Eskimos earlier this week, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed the veteran national fullback, the team announced Friday.
Miller is a veteran of 104 CFL games, and led the league in special teams tackles in 2016 with 27.
“Mike is a solid all-around football player,” said Blue Bombers General Manager, Kyle Walters. “His work on special teams speaks for itself, but from all accounts, he’s another great addition inside our locker room as well. His experience in this league will be a great asset for our younger players.”
Originally signing with Edmonton as an undrafted free agent, Miller has 116 career special teams tackles, and has missed only four career games since 2011. He has played in eight career playoff games with Edmonton, winning the Grey Cup in 2015 with the Eskimos.
