ESPN Analyst Takes Indefinite Leave After Losing an Arm and Possibly Integrity

KEY POINTS

•Matt Miller, a top ESPN NFL draft analyst, announced last Friday that he is taking indefinite leave following a serious Missouri car crash.
•The crash resulted in Miller losing an arm during a life-saving amputation procedure while he recovers from his injuries.
•Simultaneously, Miller faces a law enforcement inquiry into possible financial improprieties connected to side charity work.

Matt Miller, a beloved NFL draft guru at ESPN, announced last Friday he’s taking indefinite leave after a Missouri car crash led to a life-saving arm amputation—because nothing says recovery like losing your limb in a state famous for barbecue, not speedways. As if this wasn’t enough drama, Miller is also reportedly under law enforcement scrutiny for questionable charity finances tied to 'side charity work'—which, unlike a draft pick, turns out to be a really bad gamble. Fans tracking the college-to-NFL draft process now get a double draft drama: one on the field, one off, and both messy.
