Miller's Impressive Rise Through MLS Peyton Miller already made a name for himself in New England. The dynamic fullback came up through the academy ranks of the New England Revolution and has been making history every since.
Miller soon became the youngest player in club history to ink a professional contract at age 15. It only took one year with the club's reserve side before he made his first-team debut in 2024, becoming the second-youngest player in club history to do so.
Over the next two years, Miller firmly established himself as an important pillar of the Revolution's system. Despite his age, he already has 60 MLS appearances to his name-and 51 have been starts.
Only three other players in the league's entire history have started 50 matches before celebrating their 19th birthday. As a fullback, Miller is never going to gain the flashy headlines of a forward like Hall or Sullivan.

His speed allows him to quickly track back in transition and intervene before any danger reaches his fellow defenders. Even more impressive are his instincts in the final third.
