    SPECIAL TEAMS: KR-CB JUSTIN MILLER, NEW YORK JETS

    Leading all NFL kick returners by more than 100 yards in the month, Miller was a significant cog in the New York Jets' special team unit with 652 yards on 20 kick returns for a stellar 32.6-yard average, including two returns for touchdowns. The 5-foot-10, 196-pounder opened October in grand fashion with the longest kick return in franchise history -- a 103-yard sprint against Indianapolis for a touchdown. Miller's second run to the end zone occurred last week. Following a Browns field goal, which put Cleveland ahead 20-3, Miller stunted the opponent's momentum with a 99-yard return. The second-year player recorded a kick return of 50-plus yards and at least 160 kick return yards in three of five October games to help the Jets attain a 4-4 record at the season's midpoint for second place in the AFC East.

    In his second year from Clemson, this is Miller's first Player of the Month Award. Miller is the second Jets player to earn a monthly honor this season as teammate and wide receiver Laveranues Coles was the conference's Offensive Player of the Month for September.
