The New York Rangers used the No. 22 overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft to choose Miller, a 6-foot-5 defenseman.

Miller was selected after two strong seasons with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program, including 29 points (nine goals, 20 assists) in 58 games with the NTDP Under-18 team in 2017-18.

He continued his development at the University of Wisconsin. In 2018-19 he scored 22 points (five goals, 17 assists), made the Big Ten All-Rookie team was an honorable mention for the Big Ten All-Star team. Miller also had one assist in six games to help the United States finish second at the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship.

The following season Miller scored 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in 26 games with Wisconsin and again was an honorable mention for the conference all-star team. He also had two assists, led the U.S. with an average ice time of 19:24 in five games and was an alternate captain at the 2020 WJC.

In addition to playing in the WJC twice, Miller has played for the U.S. at the 2018 IIHF World Under-18 Championship and the 2016 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.

Miller agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with the Rangers on March 16, 2020.

He made his NHL debut Jan. 14, 2021, with one shot on goal in 13:59 of ice time in the Rangers' 4-0 loss to the New York Islanders.

Miller got his first NHL point in his fourth game, an assist on Kaapo Kakko's second-period goal in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Jan. 22, and scored his first goal in a 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Jan. 26.
