Conventional wisdom at the time held that middle linebackers had to be at least six feet tall to see over opposing offensive linemen and scan the field. In the same way it was after high school, Mills' lack of height held him back. After college, his Pop Warner Football coach Thomas Bevacqui Jr. was able to get Mills invited to the <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Browns" title="Cleveland Browns">Cleveland Browns</a> training camp after meeting with Browns coach <a href="/wiki/Sam_Rutigliano" title="Sam Rutigliano">Sam Rutigliano</a>. Bevacqui told Rutigliano that Mills was the best linebacker that he had ever seen play the game.

Mills made his reputation at the Stars' first training camp; as Peterson recalled years later, "he just lit it up." He quickly became known as the "Field Mouse" for his devastating speed; as Peterson put it, "he was a mouse running around a field of elephants, but the elephants wanted nothing to do with him."<sup id="cite_ref-Buck_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Buck-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In his three years with the Stars (who moved to Baltimore in 1985), Mills became one of the anchors of the Stars' feared "Doghouse Defense," During that time (wearing #54), he became known around the league for both his tenacity on the field and his leadership off it.
