Really nice O-Zone article/story with some really great photos....
Why Are People So Obsessed With Braxton Miller?
This was the Fastest Student at OSU race from this past spring. Ezekiel Elliott won it by a whisker, maybe. If speed kills, then Braxton Miller is the football equivalent of anthrax.
Braxton Miller hasn't taken the field for the Buckeyes since the Orange Bowl in January 2014, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been the topic of many conversations over the last few months.
Whether it was rumors that he was looking to transfer to Florida State or Alabama or Oregon, or simply discussions about his shoulder recovery and whether he would be healthy enough to challenge for his former position as the Buckeyes' starting quarterback, Miller's name has been on the tip of most of college football's wagging tongues.

Braxton Miller is "triple threat" QB, i.e. pass, run, and play the drum.

A lot of the same people who were tearing him down (outside of the Buckeye fan base) are the same people begging for him to come be their QB with the emergence of JT and King Cardale...

Especially damning from that article was this thread of tweets from Ben Axelrod:
This was posted in the article, but not really addressed directly beyond that. It's one thing for national pundits, outsiders, and hangers-on from other programs to speculate wildly about what might happen, but it's quite another for an Ohio State beat writer and somebody so close to the program to do it. It was tremendously irresponsible. It ran counter to what just about everybody else with his access and familiarity was saying - which in all honesty is probably why he went in this direction. He works for Bleacher Report (lol) and it was probably good for clicks. I wish the 11W writer would have gone after this a bit more, but they're not going to turn on a member of their own fraternity in that manner.

LATE NIGHT BRAXTON MILLER TWEET CONFIRMS URBAN MEYER'S WORD; THE QB'S BEEN WORKIN'
Before we get too far into it, this is not meant to be anything representative of either myself or the Eleven Warriors team picking sides in Ohio State's epic quarterback battle. It's also not meant to blow up Braxton Miller, the soon to be fifth-year senior who owns a pair of Silver Footballs, more than he deserves. His accolades and popularity are well-documented for obvious reasons.

No, this is not the first time Miller's posted a photo of a workout on a summer Friday night. Who knows if it'll be the last, but the picture — much like anything else — can be taken a multitude of ways:

No, this is not the first time Miller's posted a photo of a workout on a summer Friday night. Who knows if it'll be the last, but the picture — much like anything else — can be taken a multitude of ways:
- Miller's been working feverishly to get back to his flashy style on the gridiron, just more than nine months removed from his second surgery to repair a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder. Friday night is just another example;
- The quarterback is donning red shorts, and while we are unable to see an Ohio State logo on them or anywhere else in the photo, simple brain function shows it's further confirmation Miller's staying in Columbus this fall;
- Urban Meyer wasn't lying: "He's in the best shape he's ever been in his life," Ohio State's head coach said May 29. "He's working his tail off." Miller looks even more cut than he did before he went down with his initial shoulder tear in Ohio State's Orange Bowl loss to Clemson in January 2014. Clever camera filter or not, it's hard to believe Cardale Jones or J.T. Barrett looking that ripped right now;
- Miller's bored, didn't have anything better to do on a weekend evening as one of the more popular people in the city of Columbus, so he took it upon himself to lift alone and take a selfie;
- And plenty more.
