Given he was born in Australia, it's no surprise Howard Miller has an affinity for some of their national sports. Rugby League and Australian Football - known colloquially as 'Aussie Rules' - were his favourites, and two sports that he excelled at outside of American Football.
Miller's talents as a wide receiver are very much transferable to Aussie Rules, which is referred to by Australians by its competition name - the Australian Football League, or AFL - as opposed to the name of the sport itself. AFL requires extreme fitness, speed, agility, and of course, the ability to make spectacular catches, typically while competing to do so with one, if not more, defenders.
While on holiday in Australia escaping the start of the Chicago cold, Miller took full advantage of the warmer weather and participated in some local AFL games. He was so impressive that word spread like wildfire on social media of an unknown prodigy playing in a meaningless local league.
When autumn in Australia came around, Miller's agent had representatives from every AFL team calling and asking him to come and play their sport. It was a hard bargain to drive, of course, given the salary differences between the two leagues. It was a passion for American Football, though, that led Miller to stay in the US and continue his dream of playing in the NSFL, which he has now achieved, debuting for the Colorado Yeti today.
