ESPN NFL draft analyst's arm amputated following Jasper County crash


ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller's arm was amputated following a two-vehicle accident 3:50 p.m. June 17 on MO 96, a mile and a half west of Oronogo.

Miller, 42, Webb City, was driving a 2023 Ford Bronco that crossed the center line and was struck by a 2024 International driven by a 28-year-old Springfield man, according to the Highway Patrol report.

Miller was flown to Mercy Joplin with serious injuries.







Miller issued the following statement on X:

Last week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted to Mercy Hospital. I’m deeply grateful for the exceptional care I have received, from the first responders to the doctors, nurses and medical staff. 

I’m incredibly fortunate to be writing this. 








 As a result of the accident, I sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs. I also underwent a life-saving amputation of my left arm. 

While I have a long road ahead, I’m focused on my recovery and taking things one day at a time. Thank you for the overwhelming support, prayers and kind messages — they have meant so much to me and my family during this time. I look forward to continuing my recovery and getting back to ESPN to talk football, including what should be an exciting 2027 NFL Draft class
