Steelers TE Production Falls Off Cliff In 2019

Does Heath Miller want to play football again? I ask because he could’ve stepped into a stadium Week 1 and probably had the same amount of yards as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ TE group did in 2019.

It’s been a long time, the pre-Miller era actually, since Pittsburgh has had so little production from the position. Vance McDonald, Nick Vannett, Zach Gentry, and Xavier Grimble (yes, he caught a pass, no, he didn’t fumble) totaled a paltry 409 yards receiving this year.

That’s the fewest yards from the position since Miller was taken in the 1st round of the 2005 draft and the sixth lowest of the Kevin Colbert era.
