BEST QUOTE FROM KENDRE MILLER'S 2024 SEASON:
"I don't feel like I've got to prove anything to anybody. It's really myself. I didn't really get to play my rookie year a whole lot. The two games that I was in, it was kind of iffy. But the Chargers game, my last couple of carries that I got, I was just like I've been doing this my whole life. That just kind of gave me the confidence I need, so I got all the confidence in the world. None of that has ever slipped my mind. It was just like I still got it."
