ESPN’s NFL draft analyst Matt Miller revealed that he was recently in a severe car accident and had a “life-saving amputation” of his left arm.
“Last week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted
to Mercy Hospital,” he wrote on X. “I’m deeply grateful for the exceptional care I have received, from the first responders to the doctors, nurses and medical staff. I’m incredibly fortunate to be writing this. As a result of the accident, I sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs. I also underwent a life-saving amputation of my left arm.”
According to local news site KOAM News, Miller’s car “crossed the center line and struck a semi tractor trailer” on Wednesday, June 17.
“While I have a long road ahead, I’m focused on my recovery and taking things one day at a time,” he wrote. “Thank you for the overwhelming support, prayers and kind messages — they have meant so much to me and my family during this time. I look forward to continuing my recovery and getting back to ESPN to talk football, including what should be an exciting 2027 NFL Draft class.”
Miller joined ESPN in 2021 as an NFL draft day contributor and came back as a year-round draft analyst in 2022. He made his on-air draft day debut in 2023. He’s appeared on “NFL Live,” “SportsCenter,” “Get Up!” and more of ESPN’s programming.
“ESPN’s thoughts are with Matt Miller and his loved ones,” the company said in a statement. “We wish him strength in his recovery and look forward to seeing him back at ESPN when he’s ready.”
