Bellevue Christian Vikings football player Christian Miller made a decision in the summer of 2007 as a third grader that changed his life forever.

Miller was visiting his two best friends, Tyler and Josh Hazen, when their father Dan informed Miller that his two sons would be playing football in the fall.

“They were my best friends and they were going to play football. Their dad told me, ‘You got to do it too. You really don’t have a choice,’ That was in the third grade and I have been playing ever since,” Miller said with a smile.

Miller starts at left tackle and defensive end for the Vikings.

“Both positions are a lot of fun. They are completely different but I like them both the same,” he said. “I just play wherever the coaches put me and I will do the best that I can.”

Miller is excited to see how his team fares in the 2015 season.

“Win or lose we are always going to do our best and have fun. If we do that, then the outcome is the outcome,” he said.

Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Miller a few questions about his life away from the football field.
