The NFL must seem like a different game today for older players like Heath Miller. The league revises the rules every offseason, and the general trend is obvious to everybody. The former Pittsburgh Steelers tight end knows it’s only gotten easier to play offense. And he’s not really a fan, particularly of the new ban on the hip-drop tackle.
“I actually side with the defense on the new rule”, Miller said on Cameron Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast. Heyward, a current Pittsburgh Steelers defender, has been vocal in his opinion about the rule. Many offensive players have also expressed skepticism about the need for the rule, including RB Jaylen Warren.
