Miles Jonathon Austin III (born June 30, 1984) is an American professional football coach and former wide receiver who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 10 seasons, primarily with the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football for the Monmouth Hawks, setting the school's record for receiving yards.
Signed by the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2006, Austin spent eight seasons with the team and was named to two Pro Bowls. His most successful season was in 2009 when he led the National Football Conference (NFC) in receiving yards and set the Cowboys' single game receiving yards record. In his final two seasons, Austin was a member of the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles. He pursued a coaching career following his retirement, serving as an offensive assistant with the San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets from 2019 to 2022.
Austin was born in Summit, New Jersey to parents Miles, an African-American, and mother Ann Austin, a Caucasian, who were born in New Jersey and Nebraska, respectively. He has one sister, Jennifer Austin. Austin grew up in Garfield, New Jersey and attended Garfield High School. He was a letterman in football, basketball, and track and field. In football, he played wide receiver and defensive back, and as a senior, he won All-Bergen County honors and All-State honors. In basketball, Austin garnered All-Bergen County honors as well.
Also a standout athlete, Austin was on the school's track & field team, where he was a top competitor in the sprinting, jumping and throwing events. He recorded the third-longest javelin throw in Bergen County history, with a throw of 65.44 meters. He placed third in the triple jump event at the 2001 New Jersey Meet of Champions, with a leap of 13.35 meters. He got a personal-best leap of 6.81 meters in the long jump. In sprints, he had career-best times of 10.8 seconds in the 100 meters and 22.28 seconds in the 200 meters.
Austin played college football for the Monmouth Hawks football team. He caught 150 passes for 2,867 yards and 33 touchdowns. He left the school as the record-holder in receiving yards, which has since been broken by Reggie White Jr.
Austin rushed 15 times for 140 yards and one touchdown. In 2003, he set a Monmouth single-season record for touchdown catches with 12. He ran 4.47 second 40-yard dash and jumped 40.5 inches in the vertical leap at the 2006 NFL combine.
In 2016, Austin was inducted into the Monmouth University Athletics Hall of Fame.
Austin was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2006 by the Dallas Cowboys, making him the first player from Monmouth to appear in the NFL. He made the team based on his potential and was used mainly on special teams, returning 29 kickoffs for 753 yards and recorded 5 tackles. His main highlight of the year was in the Cowboys playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks. He returned 3 kickoffs for 136 yards in the game, including a 93-yard touchdown return. In the 55 postseason games in franchise history, it was the Cowboys' first ever kickoff return touchdown.
