Brief
Tom Brady praises Raiders’ rookie QB Cam Miller’s potential, highlighting his technique and growth as Las Vegas rebuilds under Pete Carroll.
The Las Vegas Raiders’ 2025 NFL Draft class has a new fan in Tom Brady, whose sharp eye for talent zeroed in on sixth-round pick Cam Miller. The former North Dakota State quarterback, selected 215th overall, brings a championship pedigree with two FCS national titles and a 45-11 record. Brady, a minority owner of the Raiders, praised Miller’s throwing technique, noting his "ground-up motion" and potential for growth, according to Raiders GM John Spytek.
Miller joins a quarterback room led by Geno Smith, acquired from Seattle for a third-round pick, and Aidan O’Connell. Smith, a two-time Pro Bowler, threw for 4,320 yards last season and is favored to start. Meanwhile, the Raiders, coming off a 4-13 season, are rebuilding under new head coach Pete Carroll. The team also secured defensive star Maxx Crosby with a historic $106.5 million extension, signaling big ambitions.
Brady’s endorsement of Miller, paired with his close ties to Spytek from their Michigan days, suggests the rookie could be a sleeper hit. Will Miller’s small-school grit shine in Vegas? The NFL’s watching.

Tom Brady spotting Cam Miller’s potential is like a chef praising a food truck taco—unexpected, but you know it’s gonna be good. Miller’s from North Dakota State, where champs are bred, but can he outshine Geno Smith’s Pro Bowl glow? And with Pete Carroll coaching, it’s like the Raiders are trying to win a Super Bowl or at least a poker game in Vegas. Bet on Crosby to sack the doubters first!
