Braxton Miller has decided to take his talents to the wide receiver position, which can only mean one thing: The quarterback battle at Ohio State is now down to two men.

Now that Miller has taken his name out of the QB race, it is J.T. Barrett vs. Cardale Jones. The man who filled in for the injured Miller last season and ended up making a run at the Heisman vs. the man who filled in for the injured Barrett and led the Buckeyes to a national championship.

Another question that remains: Will Miller be able to have an instant impact in Urban Meyer‘s offense? It would be nice if he played like Percy Harvin 2.0, but please don’t expect that until we actually see this team (especially Miller) take the field.
At the very least, Miller is an explosive athlete who is just waiting to, well, explode, and Ohio State will be 100 percent fine at the QB position. Also know that RB Ezekiel Elliott will be another lethal option. So lethal that he will enter the season as a Heisman contender.
Braxton Miller will be used at H-Back, slot receiver, and even some kick/punt returns. Get ready: https://t.co/QnlgNiKuna — Pick Six Previews (@PickSixPreviews) July 24, 2015
The defending national champs are alright, and Miller just made life on Meyer a whole lot easier — and seriously helped out the offense in the process. Yeah, it was a good day for the Buckeyes — you could say.
