Miles Joiner brings size, red-zone upside, and reliable production to NIU’s tight end room
Miles Joiner, a 6-foot-4, 257-pound tight end for Northern Illinois, has already shown usable receiving production with 33 catches, 521 yards, and 7 touchdowns across 22 games, giving him a clear role as a physical middle-of-the-field and red-zone target[3][1]. His appeal is his combination of NFL-style frame and proven scoring ability rather than empty-volume stats, which makes him a strong fit for teams needing a sturdy, dependable TE who can stress linebackers and safeties near the goal line[3][4].
