Terry Miller (born January 7, 1956) is a retired an American football running back who played in the National Football League (NFL) with the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks.
Miller was an All-American at Oklahoma State University in 1976 and 1977 and finished second in the 1977 Heisman Trophy voting to winner Earl Campbell.[1]
Miller ran for 1,060 yards in his rookie season, but had only 484 total rushing yards in his second season (second to Bills' fullback Curtis Brown).[2] By 1980, with Buffalo having found a star in rookie running back Joe Cribbs, Miller was relegated to mostly kick return duty.[3]
