- Since coming into the league in 2010, Miles is tied for 21st with 45 special teams tackles. Who else has 45 in that span? Former Giants linebacker Spencer Paysinger, who signed with the Miami Dolphins this offseason.
- Both Miles and Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz went undrafted in 2010 out of UMass, where the safety earned first-team All-America honors in NCAA Division I-FCS as a senior in 2009. Miles started all 36 games he played in at UMass (2007-09) after transferring from Navy in 2006. Miles' total college numbers include 294 tackles, nine interceptions, 23 passes defensed and seven forced fumbles in 49 games (47 starts). The Giants now have three former Minutemen on the roster: Miles, Cruz and wide receiver Julian Talley, who went undrafted in 2012.
- A native of Voorhees, N.J., Miles attended Winslow High School and earned multiple letters in football, baseball, and track, helping the track team to win three state championships.
