‘Turbo time’ has come to an end as Giants waive running back Dante Miller
The NY Giants waive the fan favorite running back after a groin/abdomen injury.
The New York Giants have moved away from a "Turbo" era following the waiving of running back Dante Miller, known as "Turbo." The decision came after Miller's groin injury during a loss to the Minnesota Vikings. This move is part of a series of roster adjustments made by the Giants, which also include signing quarterback Jake Haener and linebacker Chandler Martin.
The team needed to free up a roster spot following the departure of cornerback Sam Webb, who retired. Miller was waived to accommodate this change. Miller's journey to the Giants had been unusual, as he was initially ineligible for the 2022 college season and the 2024 NFL Draft. He was ultimately signed by the Giants before the 2024 draft due to his college eligibility.
His speed and potential earned him a fan favorite status, but his career trajectory took a downturn, and he spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad. The Giants had high hopes for Miller, as he showcased explosive plays during training camp and preseason, but those expectations did not materialize. The team also held talks with former first-round running back Najee Harris, who might be a future option if he recovers from his injury.
