Texas A&M's Miller Invited To NFL Draft
NEW YORK (AP) -Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller has been invited to the NFL draft even though he's a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the league.
A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that Miller is among 20 college players invited to the April 28-30 draft. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the NFL has not yet announced who it is inviting.
Miller is expected to be a high pick in the first round. He has not yet responded to the invitation, the person says.
On March 11, Miller joined Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and six other NFL players in a lawsuit seeking an injunction in a Minnesota court to block the lockout.
