Garrett Mills (born December 12, 1983) is an American football tight end for the New England Patriots of the National Football League.
[edit] High School and College Career
Mills graduated from Jenks High School in Jenks, Oklahoma.
He played college football for the University of Tulsa, where he set an NCAA record in the 2005 season with 1,235 yards receiving (on 87 receptions), the most yards earned receiving by a tight end in a single season.[1]
[edit] NFL Career
Mills was drafted in the 4th round, pick 106, of the 2006 NFL Draft, by the Patriots. He is not expected to play solely at tight end in the NFL (unlike David Thomas, the Texas tight end the Patriots drafted just before Mills); the Patriots' depth chart lists him at both tight end and fullback.
Given that Mills was fourth on the Patriots' depth chart at tight end, he did not see any playing time during the regular season, and was placed on injured reserve in the middle of the 2006 season.
