Draft Profile: Bio

As a sophomore in 2022 he played in 12 games and a total of 851 snaps. He conceded 14 QB hurries, one QB hit, and no sacks while playing at left tackle.

Scouting Report: Strengths
- Plays with natural leverage and has the strength to anchor against the bull rush. Milum also packs a violent initial punch that can stand up pass rushers.
- Tall with long arms, Milum has exceptional length and is a violent, aggressive, and precise puncher who can redirect pass rushers.
- Lone concern is handling the superquick NFL edge rusher. Foot speed and quickness are very good, but not elite.
- In the run game, he plays with a mean streak and does a nice job generating a push at the initial point of attack. Milum can get outside and does a decent job landing blocks in space.
- Has a strong, flexible core, and the ability to absorb and anchor against the bull rush as a pass protector.
- Has the agility, technique, and size to contribute early in his professional career. Quick, active hands to latch on to defenders.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Attacks when necessary, though Milum won't consistently dominate and can lose balance overextending.
- Often simply tries to push pass rushers past the pocket. Milum can also look a bit hesitant when it comes to recognizing and reacting to twists, stunts and blitzes up front.
- While he moves well in the run game, he’s not an elite athlete and doesn’t have the potential to stick at left tackle in the NFL.
