'Quarterback style defender' and 'good user of the ball out of defence' are both perfectly acceptable descriptions of Mills' play.
The quarterback reference is to his organisational skills in the defensive area, and not just to his own personal play.
The good user refers to his disposal of the ball out of the back line.
When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it was about Rampe and his almost certain All_Australian nom.
In the AFL Exchange podcast Alex Rance ranked Dane as his number one finals "hero" (okay I can't remember the term exactly but was something like that) who isn't an obvious star ala Buddy, Cyril, Danger etc.

Australian football has a perfectly good lexicon of its own, but there is no harm in judicious introduction of new and borrowed terms. The trouble is, it's hardly ever judicious, and usually designed to display the user's knowledge of other sports, even if the terms they use are not particularly apt.

I often think of McVeigh as a traffic cop.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
I see Mills is now rising star favourite. Makes me less nervous than "flag favourites"
