Related Topics: Michael Mayer, Heath Miller

Over three seasons at Virginia, tight end Heath Miller had 144 catches for 1,703 yards and 20 touchdowns, with much of that production coming from future NFL quarterback Matt Schaub. At 6’5, 256 lbs, the Pittsburgh Steelers saw Miller as a potentially dominant pairing for second-year quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and took him with the 30th overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft.

As a rookie, Miller caught 39 passes for 459 yards with six touchdowns, adding 107 more yards in the playoffs en route to a Steelers Super Bowl championship. Three years later, Miller had 11 catches for 156 yards and another touchdown in the postseason, winning a second Super Bowl.
