Jam Miller will wear No. 30 for the New England Patriots after being selected by the franchise in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Patriots revealed jersey numbers for their drafted rookies on Tuesday.

Miller wore No. 26 and played four seasons for the Alabama Crimson Tide before getting drafted. He rushed for 1,596 yards and 13 touchdowns during his time in Tuscaloosa. He also pulled in 40 receptions for 336 yards and two touchdowns.

The former Alabama running back is expected to have an opportunity to compete for carries in the Patriots’ backfield as a rookie, despite Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson being the Patriots’ top two options out of the backfield. It is a grind to play the running back position in the NFL, which makes it highly likely Miller will get a shot at carrying the football if he impresses the Patriots’ staff.

New England made it to the Super Bowl last season and lost to the Seattle Seahawks.
