Another speedy receiver who can run and make big plays after the catch, Miller is a Covington native who is playing like one of the best receivers in the area. The 5-foot-11 175-pounder is dangerous in the open field and can make defenders miss with ease. He shows quick feet, impressive burst, and the ability to stretch the field vertically while being a weapon in the short passing game. The under-the-radar pass catcher has caught 30 passes and have taken them 851 yards. He’s averaging an outstanding 28 yards per catch. He’s also scored 8 touchdowns in just 8 games this season. He’s easily one of the more underrated 2026 receivers in the state right now.

I ID’d Derrick Miller Derrick Miller 5'11" | 175 lbs | WR Newton | 2026 State GA this offseason as one of my favorite 2026 receivers in Georgia. He ran 11.00/21.66 in the 100M/200M in 2025 for Newton. His breakaway speed is present, but he is fluid as well, skating around the field and changing direction without losing much speed. Miller is fast on a straight line, but his snappiness and smooth moves as an athlete give him access to the whole field.

An electric wideout in metro-Atlanta running wild after the catch, Miller is a speedy senior who can score from anywhere on the field. He’s dangerous after the catch and has been tough to corral all season long for opposing defenses. He’s been a consistent option in the passing game all year long and has been one of the biggest playmakers in the region so far this fall. The Newton pass-catcher has hauled in just 24 passes but has taken them 596 yards and six touchdowns, averaging just under 25 yards per catch. He’s been terrific in his final season and is bound for All-Region honors if he continues to play at a high level.
