The Detroit Lions have selected Clemson offensive tackle Blake Miller with the No. 17 overall pick in the NFL Draft, per @AdamSchefter.

Miller joins the Lions after a standout collegiate career at Clemson, where he was recognized as one of the most consistent offensive linemen in the ACC. Standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 310 pounds, Miller started every game during his time with the Tigers, earning a reputation for his durability and technical proficiency in both pass protection and run blocking.

The addition of Miller addresses a key area of focus for the Detroit Lions as they look to further solidify their offensive line. By utilizing a mid-first-round pick on the tackle, Detroit continues its trend of building through the trenches to protect their backfield and maintain one of the league's most productive offensive units.

Miller is expected to compete for an immediate role on a Lions front that has become a cornerstone of the team's identity under the current front office. He becomes the latest high-profile prospect from Clemson to be taken in the first round of the draft.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
