ESPN NFL Draft Analyst Loses Left Arm in Missouri Crash

ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller said Tuesday that he lost his left arm after a single-vehicle crash last week in Missouri. Miller, 42, posted on X that the June 17 incident occurred while he was driving a 2023 Ford Bronco on Route 96 in Jasper County. He crossed the center line and struck a semi-truck, according to KOAM News.

Miller sustained multiple fractures and broken ribs in addition to the arm injury that required amputation. The driver of the semi-truck was not injured. Miller was airlifted to Mercy Hospital, where he received treatment from first responders, doctors, nurses and other staff.

“I’m deeply grateful for the exceptional care I have received, from the first responders to the doctors, nurses and medical staff. He thanked supporters for messages and prayers. He also expressed intent to return to ESPN to cover the 2027 NFL Draft class. Miller has worked at ESPN since 2021, first as a draft contributor and later as a year-round analyst appearing on NFL Live and SportsCenter. He previously spent more than a decade as Bleacher Report’s lead NFL Draft writer.”
