Tom Brady Endorses Raiders' QB Cam Miller Selection

Tom Brady, minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, played a significant role in the team's 2025 NFL Draft decisions, particularly endorsing the selection of quarterback Cam Miller from North Dakota State in the sixth round. Brady, who was also a sixth-round pick in 2000, praised Miller's throwing technique, motion, and potential for improvement, which influenced general manager John Spytek's decision. Despite fans expecting Brady to back Shedeur Sanders, a quarterback he had mentored, the Raiders chose Miller, who has a strong collegiate record including two FCS national championships. Brady's close relationship with Spytek, dating back to their time in Tampa Bay, and his involvement in the Raiders' front office have raised expectations for the franchise's future playoff contention under coach Pete Carroll. Miller is viewed as a developmental prospect who could become a reliable backup or even surpass the success of previous late-round quarterbacks like Brock Purdy. The Raiders also boast an experienced quarterback room with Geno Smith, the expected starter, alongside Miller and Aidan O'Connell.
