One has to admit that Miles’ mom for sure deserves all the love that her son showers on her. She was standing firmly by Miles when he was about to get drafted in 2019 and when it was confirmed that he was off to Philadelphia, the mother-son duo shared a long hug while shedding a few tears of joy.
Now that he is starting afresh with the Carolina Panthers, it will be seen how well he does with a new QB like Bryce Young.
