I have a feeling this could be a solid year for Miller. riczaj01 has mentioned a number of times about how some college players struggle to understand that there is a lot of dedicated work required to make it at the NFL level. I don't think it's like they are lazy. And certainly players don't want to fail. I just don't think they "get it" that this isn't college anymore and raw physical gifts (alone) won't take you far here at the NFL level. Pretty much everyone has amazing talent to a degree in the NFL. But it takes more to be successful. Hard dedicated work. It sounds like it took a bit for Anthony Miller (like many) to understand that fact.

Why Bears Coaches Suddenly Can Trust in Anthony Miller
Never had the developmental process of wide receiver Anthony Miller been spelled out so clearly.
Chicago Bears coaches throughout the past year repeatedly said they saw a different Miller in the second half of last season, someone who figured out the pro game.
The stats said as much as he had only four catches for 28 yards at the quarter point of the season.
It's the spark for it all which no one had really described before wide receivers coach Mike Furrey made it so clear during a Zoom teleconference with reporters this past week.
"The first quarter to half of the season last year, I just don't think from a maturity standpoint, preparation standpoint, that Anthony was 100 percent all in," Furrey said. "He still had that college mentality that ability was gonna allow him to overcome whatever he wanted to overcome in games. As we all know, as you (reporters) have all seen, talent can only get you so far when you get to the pros."
