Miller has been to the Thomas & Mack before. This time, however, he arrives as the man everyone is chasing.
Bradlee talks about the biggest moments of his 2026 season, what his previous NFR appearances have taught him and how experience changes the way a cowboy approaches ten nights of competition on rodeo’s biggest stage.
One of the most compelling storylines heading into December sits just behind him in the standings. Miller and Jacob Lees are friends, but when the chutes open in Las Vegas, they will also be two of the cowboys fighting for the PRCA Bareback Riding World Championship.
For Miller, the road to the NFR is no longer simply about getting to Las Vegas. He has reached the top of the standings.
Now comes the opportunity to finish there.
