NFL: Heath Miller Retires

[Big McLargehuge]

592 receptions, 6,569 yards, 45 TDs, 2 Super Bowl rings, 2x Pro Bowler after being the 30th overall selection in 2005.

I figured he had another year or two in him, though his play has definitely dropped off the past couple years as his body has broken down.

One last HEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTHHHHHHHHHH!

Solid, consistent player for a long time. Ben could always rely on him when nothing was there downfield

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

A somewhat big loss. Now he doesn't have that security blanket. Even if he's declined a bit of late.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Most definitely not a Steelers fan going back to the old AFC Central days, but that said, nothing but respect for Heath.

Best wishes going forward sir

 

[Rocko604]

My favourite Steeler. Going to miss him.

 

[Roboturner913]

One of the most underrated tight ends for a long time and a genuine good guy.

 

[TNT87]

A very consistent player. I figured he would give it one more year. An unsung player but one who was about as reliable as they come.

Puts Hunter Henry directly on the Steelers draft radar. He's a Heath Miller clone.

Not sure if they want to reach that far.

 

[GKJ]

Not sure if they want to reach that far.

They're the Steelers, I'm sure they'll figure it out.

Not sure if they want to reach that far.

You mean reaching for a late 1st round talent? You know where they are picking...

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Guy could be gone before that.

He could still game this season, when given the opportunity....they just have so many threats he was usually only effective if another big gun was sitting out

Agreed, I think they're the favorites next season....if they can get fully healthy.
But even if he's not putting up numbers, he's such a big part of the Steelers scheme it's just now going to look different.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Great consistent player. Really was a dominating force in the recent super bowl runs.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

bummed about it, but I get why he walked away.
Wish him nothing but the best. dude was reliable option when Ben needed a 1st down.
