ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller – who recently announced he had his left arm amputated after a traffic accident – is now under investigation by the Missouri attorney general’s office, a spokesperson from the office confirmed to USA TODAY.
The attorney general’s office could not disclose the details of the investigation due to its active nature. However, it did imply the case was related to consumer protection.

“The Missouri Attorney General’s Office encourages consumers who believe they have been misled to contact us,” the office said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports. “Attorney General Hanaway takes consumer protection very seriously, and we will work diligently to uncover the facts.”
The investigation into Miller comes after he was accused of past financial improprieties by numerous people, both on social media and via reporting by Awful Announcing. Several individuals outlined they had failed to receive payments for fantasy football leagues, football camps and scouting lessons in which Miller has been involved.
The allegations against Miller came to light shortly after the draft analyst revealed he underwent a life-saving amputation following his traffic accident.
A GoFundMe benefitting him was shared to his social media accounts in wake of his injuries. Shortly thereafter, many took to social media to outline the financial improprieties they alleged Miller had committed.
Miller has yet to address to the claims against him. He did not respond to a previous request for comment from USA TODAY.

ESPN – which has employed Miller on a full-time basis since 2022 – also did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s request for comment.
