We all know that the guy who said the workout was "impressive" was in the Miles camp. I can't imagine Miles actually making a roster. He may have put together a decent workout, but after what happened to his knee, there is no way he could consistently pound that knee over the course of a season. After examination last year, a team doctor said Miles had the worst knee he had ever seen. The doctor then deemed the injury career ending.
