39. Heath Miller

Heath Miller was an All-American Tight End at Virginia, and his work as a Cavalier resulted in him being a First Round Pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

An All-Rookie Selection in 2005, Miller helped the Steelers win the Super Bowl that year.  Miller established himself as a dependable Tight End, both in blocking and receiving and in 2008, he again helped Pittsburgh win a second Super Bowl, recording five receptions in the big game.

This may have ended his Super Bowl collection, but his best regular seasons were yet to come.  Miller went to the Pro Bowl in 2009, when he had 789 Yards, and he broke that in 2012 with an 816 Yard campaign and a second Pro Bowl. Miller played until 2015, and from 2007 until his final season, he always had at least 500 Yards.  The Tight End retired with 6,589 Receiving Yards with 45 Touchdowns.  Pittsburgh selected Miller to join their Hall of Honor in 2022.
