Heath Miller couldn’t have landed in a better situation, on a better team, or in a more perfect city. Miller and the Pittsburgh Steelers fit like a glove. But that doesn’t mean the wait, the 30th pick that year, and the uncertainty was easy. Like any player, Miller was nervous on draft day, sitting and waiting for his name to be called. A hernia injury that caused him to be unavailable for the pre-draft process only compounded those worries, unsure of what teams were truly interested and willing to take the chance on his health.
In an interview with Bob Pompeani for the Steelers’ YouTube channel, Miller reflected on his draft day experience.
