Urban Meyer has an unbelievable connection with all his players. On Thursday, Meyer proved again why he is one of the best at player/coach relationships.
During Ben Ten media days Meyer announced he will personally take Braxton Miller under his wing to help with his transition to wide receiver.

Meyer on expectations for Braxton: "He's not common. He's one of the best athletes I've coached… my expectation is he's an impact player."

Meyer specifically coached receivers earlier in his coaching career. From 1990-95 he was at Colorado and from 95-2000 he was at Notre Dame.
Miller will face many challenges in his new offensive role, but having the head coach in your corner has to be a big confidence boost.
The Buckeyes open their season at Virginia Tech on September 7th.
If Miller can make an impact against the Hokies defense, be prepared for him to be just fine the rest of the year.
